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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The State of Missouri by the Amended Information * * * charges the defendant, WILLIAM ELMER KNICKER and ALBERT FREDERICK KNICKER with the offense of Burglary in the Second Degree and Stealing. A severance has been granted and the defendant WILLIAM ELMER KNICKER is now alone on trial, and he pleads not guilty, thereby raising an issue of fact between said Defendant and the State of Missouri, which you must determine from all the evidence in the case. “It is the duty of the Court to instruct you on all questions of law arising in this case and it is your duty to receive such instructions as the law of the case, and to find the defendant William Elmer Knicker, guilty or not guilty, according to the law as declared by the Court.””

[W]e have no doubt that State’s counsel has the duty to state to the jury the evidence upon which the State relies for a conviction, so that a defendant may be apprised of the facts and the manner in which the facts are to be shown, and may consequently be enabled to marshall whatever evidence he can in his own defense. State v. Deppe, 286 S.W.2d 776, 780 (Mo.1956).”
