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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he State's acceptance in Holt County of defendant's plea of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect for the offense alleged to have been committed on June 17, 1974, did not establish that defendant was suffering from mental disease or defect on that date. Under the statute [§ 552.030(2)], such acceptance simply mandated that the court order the defendant committed to the Director of the Division of Mental Diseases for further proceedings. It did not constitute an adjudication of defendant's mental condition on June 17, 1974, as characterized by appellant; and it had no bearing on his mental condition on July 25, 1974, when he committed rape in Buchanan County.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Burton v. State · State v. Lewis“" 'Criminal commitment’ proceedings as used herein mean those proceedings under which a person, who has been charged with a criminal offense and who asserts he is not liable to criminal punishment because, at the time of the offense, he suffered from a mental disease or defect excluding responsibility, and who, after being acquitted upon that ground, is committed to the division of mental diseases. In Missouri these proceedings are governed generally by chapter 552 and in particular sections 552.030 and 552.040. ‘Civil commitment’ proceedings are governed generally by sections 202.783 through 202.875 and are different from the provisions applicable to criminal commitments. * * * ⅜ * * “Thus the difference between civil and criminal commitments in Missouri is principally based upon the fact that in the former there need be no prior criminal act committed whereas in the latter it is essential that the defendant have committed a prior criminal act.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[i]n Bolton v. Harris , ... Bolton was found not guilty by reason of insanity and committed to a mental institution pursuant to D.C.Code section 24-301(d) which requires such a commitment when a defendant is acquitted on the ground of insanity. The court held that the trial of Bolton determined only that there was a reasonable doubt as to his sanity at the time the offense was committed. However, section 552.030(7, 8) requires an affirmative finding that the defendant suffered from a mental disease or defect excluding responsibility whenever an acquittal is based on that defense. Thus there has been a determination that the defendant had a mental defect and the acquittal is not merely premised on a reasonable doubt concerning the defendant's sanity.”
