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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The jury are the sole judges of the credibility of the witnesses, and the weight of the evidence, but not of its sufficiency. They must have believed that the prosecutrix told the truth, but what she said did not show sufficient resistance on her part to the defendant’s advances to exclude the idea that her opposition to his will was nothing more than pretense; or at any rate that the act was consummated while she, though ‘saying I’ll ne’er consent, consented.’ ””
