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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[The Commonwealth has] to prove that the defendant gave or provided a drug or substance to [the victim] either directly or by offering it to her and requesting her to take it. It’s not necessary for the Commonwealth to prove that the defendant directly put the drug or substance into her by injection, nor into her food or drink. Also, it is not necessary for the Commonwealth to prove that the defendant forced her to consume it.” (Emphasis added.)”
