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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Rule 412 is derived from the “rape shield statute” enacted by the legislature in 1975. 8 Before the statute was enacted, sexual assault victims often found themselves subjected to abusive, embarrassing, and irrelevant inquiries into their private lives, with the result that many sexual assault victims chose not to report the attack rather than face such questioning. Rule 412, like its predecessor statute, represents an explicit decision to eliminate trial practices that may have frustrated society’s vital interest in the prosecution of sexual crimes.”
