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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Constructive possession requires proof that a defendant had access to and control over the premises where the drugs were found. [State v.] Metcalf, 182 S.W.3d [272] at 275 [ (Mo.App. E.D.2006)]. In cases where the premises were jointly possessed, further evidence is required to connect a defendant to the controlled substance. Id. In determining the sufficiency of such evidence, we consider the totality of the circumstances, including: “routine access to the area where the substances are kept, the presence of large quantities of the substance at the arrest scene, admissions by the accused, being in close proximity to the substances or drug paraphernalia in plain view of the law enforcement officers, the mixing of defendant’s personal belongings with the drugs, or flight by a defendant upon realizing the presence of law enforcement officials.” Id; see also State v. Beggs, 186 S.W.3d 306, 317 (Mo.App. W.D.2005).”
