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.

““To be a competent juror an individual must be in a position to enter the jury box disinterested and with an open mind, free from bias or prejudice_ The absence of an independent examination by the trial judge justifies a more searching review by an appellate court of the challenged juror’s qualifications_ In in stances where a prospective juror gives equivocal answers which reveal uncertainty as to his ability to be impartial, the failure of the trial judge to further question the juror to explore possible prejudice may undercut any basis for the trial judge's exercise of discretion and constitute reversible error.... The failure of the trial court to excuse for cause a legitimately challenged venireman is reversible error.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Banks“The test is whether evidence of other distinct crimes falls within one of the exceptions is the logical relevancy of the evidence to prove a material fact in issue. If logically relevant, the evidence is not to be rejected merely because it incidentally proves defendant guilty of another crime. On the other hand, if the court does not clearly perceive the nexus ... the accused should be given the benefit of the doubt and the evidence rejected. State v. Holliman, 529 S.W.2d at 936 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Merritt““Not only should a jury which hears a criminal case and which has great power be impartial in fact, but also if we are to hold true to our ideals and retain the confidence of the community, the jury should also give every outward appearance of impartiality.””
