Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he essential elements of sexual battery are: (1) sexual contact with another person; (2) by force and against the will of the other person; and (3) for the purpose of sexual arousal, gratification or abuse.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Lane · State v. Brown“The State obviously realized that fear, fright, or coercion must be reasonably induced before it can replace actual physical force. Indeed, in every constructive force case cited by the district attorney at trial, there was, at least, a threat of physical force, and, in most of the cases, there was actual physical force which preceded or constituted the threat that further force would follow if the victim would not succumb.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[a]t common law, fear, fright, or coercion could take the place of actual physical force, or, as stated by our Supreme Court: `A threat of serious bodily harm, which reasonably induces fear thereof, constitutes the requisite force and negates consent.'”
