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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]e seriously doubt that the lack of proof to the jury on when the indictment was presented made the jury wonder if the offense occurred before the presentment of the indictment. The jury would have had to believe that appellant was indicted for the commission of [the offenses] against this particular complainant on or about this particular date, and then went out and fulfilled the grand jury’s prophecy by committing that exact offense.”
