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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . ‘Where the articles sought to be suppressed were in plain sight of the arresting officer, were dropped or thrown away by the person arrested, and were picked up by the officers, the articles are admissible in evidence over an objection that they were seized as the result of an unlawful search.’ ” See also State v. Jackson, 476 S.W.2d 540, 542 (Mo.1972) where defendant dropped or attempted to dispose of a bottle containing heroin; and also State v. Berry, 450 S.W.2d 212, 213 (Mo.1970) where defendant discarded a bottle of capsules into a vacant lot.”
