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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]here is no error in refusing to declare a mistrial for arguing that ‘the defense was free to offer any evidence that they had, and none was forthcoming,’ State v. Thomas, Mo.Sup., 393 S.W.2d 533, 538 [12]; State v. Hodge, Mo.Sup., 399 S.W.2d 65, 68 [5], or that ‘ “The State’s evidence stands uncontradicted in this case. When the State has concluded its case, the defense was free to offer any evidence it chose.’ ” State v. Siekermann, Mo.Sup., 367 S.W.2d 643, 651 [17]. And see five similar rulings cited and quoted from on pages 651 and 652. As stated in State v. Michael, Mo.Sup., 361 S.W.2d 664, 667 , the prohibition of § 546.270 RSMo 1959, and Criminal Rule 26.08 is against comment that the accused did not testify; not that the defendant did not offer any evidence.”
