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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Alcoholism and sodden drunkenness may indeed have been a contributing factor in Phylliss’ death, as the doctor explained, but if so it was the appellant’s misfortune to have assaulted a person whose death would be accelerated due to her physical condition, it is as if he had struck a hemophiliac ‘one moderate blow with his fist’ and ‘the injury accelerated the death from the disease.’ State v. Johnson, 475 S.W.2d 95, 97 (Mo. 1971).”
