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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he requirement of force may be satisfied by a showing of [1] the use, or threatened use, of a weapon; [2] the use of such physical force as is sufficient to overcome, restrain, or injure a person; or [3] the use of a threat of harm sufficient to coerce or compel submission by the victim.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“erroneously conflated the distinction between 'force' and 'fear,' ... permitt[ing] the jurors to find that [the defendant] committed aggravated sexual abuse based on proof of something less than either physical force or a threat of fear of death or serious bodily injury.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“causes another person to engage in a sexual act by threatening or placing that other person in fear (other than by threatening or placing that other person in fear that any person will be subjected to death, serious bodily injury, or kidnapping).”
