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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“upon separation of the jury after submission of a case, it is not possible to prevent a juror from reflecting on the evidence of the case. However, a juror may not independently seek evidence, Middleton v. Kansas City Public Service Company, 348 Mo. 107 , 152 S.W.2d 154 (1941); visit the scene of an accident, Douglass v.
