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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“1. A single offense may not be divided into separate parts; generally, a single wrongful act may not furnish the basis for more than one criminal prosecution; 2. If each offense charged requires proof of a fact not required in proving the other, the offenses are not multiplici-tious; and 3. Where time and location separate and distinguish the commission of the offenses, the offenses cannot be said to have arisen out of a single wrongful act.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Siliski · State v. Binion““[Although separate acts of intercourse may be so related as to constitute one criminal offense, generally rape is not a continuous offense, but each act of intercourse constitutes a distinct and separate offense.” Moreover, each of the above-described acts is separately defined in Tenn.Code Ann. § 39-13-501(7) as a discrete type of sexual penetration subsumed by Tenn.Code Ann. § 39-13-502, the aggravated rape statute. Each act, in our opinion, is capable of producing its own attendant fear, humiliation, pain, and damage to the victim. Each type of penetration requires a purposeful act on the part of the perpetrator.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Barney · Johnson v. State“1. The nature of the act; 2. The area of the victim’s body invaded by the sexually assaultive behavior; 3. The time elapsed between the discrete conduct; [and] ■ 4. The accused’s intent, in the sense that the lapse of time may indicate a newly formed intent to again seek sexual gratification or inflict abuse[.]”
