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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The giving of a withdrawal instruction rests within the sound discretion of the trial court and absent an abuse of such discretion, refusal to give a withdrawal instruction constitutes no basis for complaint. Helming v. Adams, 509 S.W.2d 159, 169 (Mo.App.1974). Ordinarily, it is not error to refuse a withdrawal instruction. Norton v. Johnson, 359 Mo. 1214 , 226 S.W.2d 689, 710 (1950).”
