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.
““The Court instructs the jury that if you find and believe from the evidence, and beyond a reasonable doubt, that the Defendant, Joanne Marie Durio, on or about the 23rd day of November, 1972, Johnson County, Missouri, did wilfully and unlawfully operate a 1971 Buick sedan in an easterly direction on a divided portion of U.S. Highway 50 at or near the intersection of U.S. Highway 50 and a cross-over road at or near a point approximately 2.1 miles east of Missouri Route 13, in a careless and imprudent manner by failing to exercise the highest degree of care in making a left turn from the right hand lane in the path of traffic also traveling in an easterly direction, thereby endangering the life, limb or property of others, then you will find the Defendant guilty and assess her punishment at a fine of not less than five dollars nor more than five hundred dollars or by imprisonment in the County Jail for a term not exceeding one year or by both such fine and imprisonment.” (Emphasis added.)”
