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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Defendant’s last point is that the trial court erred “in refusing [his] request that other counsel be appointed to defend him, thereby denying him rights guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.” This contention was not presented in the motion for new trial, but it is presented in the brief in “Anticipation of it being made hereafter in a motion to set aside his sentence under Supreme Court Rule 27.26.” Denial of a constitutional right of counsel would constitute plain error affecting substantial rights within the meaning of Supreme Court Rule 27.20(c). Therefore, we shall rule this issue on this appeal. [ 419 S.W.2d at 53 ]”
