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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The State proved by substantial evidence that the appellant was present and committed the crime charged. Under the instructions the jury could not have found him guilty without also finding that he was present at the time and place charged in the indictment. If, therefore, the appellant desired an instruction on the defense of an alibi he should have requested it. [State v. Hubbard (Mo.), 295 S.W. 788 , 790.] The defense therefore being in the nature of a collateral matter, it became the duty of the appellant to ask an instruction thereon, and, not having done so, he will not be heard to complain. [State v. Sanders (Mo.), 4 S.W.2d l.c. 816.]”
