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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Even assuming that a promise of immunity was made to both Com and Evinger, the record is bereft of any evidence or inference that they were asked to testify other than truthfully. The mere supposed fact that immunity from prosecution was promised in exchange for their testifying did not cause their testimony to be insubstantial. Any such promise held out to induce an accomplice to testify affects only his credibility. State v. White, 126 S.W.2d 234 (Mo.1939); State v. Newman, 289 S.W. 831 (Mo.1926); State v. Midkiff, 286 S.W. 20 (Mo.1926).”
