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.

1. ““* * * A change of jurisdiction must come by reason of the accused’s application for a change of venue, after the issues are joined and the case ready for trial.

State v. Patterson, 73 Mo. 695 . There is a dearth of authority on this question but the cases have been collected and discussed in 18 A.L.R. 706 , Ex parte Lancaster, 206 Ala. 60 , 89 So. 721 , wherein the Alabama court said: ‘The removal of an indictment to another county for trial does not deprive the grand jury of the county where the crime was committed of jurisdiction to find a new indictment in case the first one is dismissed for any cause.’ ””
