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 77 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]o prove that the defendant did or did not have a state of mind which is an element of the offense.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passage““The doctrine contended for by the defendant is sometimes referred to as that of ‘diminished’ or ‘partial responsibility.’ This is actually a misnomer, and the theory may not be given an exact name. However, it means the allowing of proof of mental derangement short of insanity as evidence of lack of deliberate or premeditated design. In other words, it contemplates full responsibility, not partial, but only for the crime actually committed.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Brown v. State · Honeycutt v. State“that when the General Assembly enacted § 4.02(1) of the Model Penal Code as § 552.030(3)(1) of the new Missouri Act, it adopted the interpretation placed thereon in the commentary by the drafters of the model act.”
