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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he jury may consider the actor’s objective conduct, his acts, words, or deeds and then infer from the totality of the circumstances whether or not his overall conduct placed the complainant in fear of serious bodily injury. It is ... not necessary to demonstrate that the accused could have inflicted serious bodily injury. It is not necessary that a threat or being placed in a state of fear be communicated verbally. Whether or not a victim was placed in fear of death or serious bodily injury is a fact to be determined by the jury.”
