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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]e do not believe that the jury was confused as to what offense it was convicting the defendant. Movant was clearly charged with assault with intent to kill with malice aforethought under § 559.180. The court submitted an instruction only on assault with intent to kill with malice aforethought and the jury had only two options, finding mov-ant guilty or not guilty of that offense. As the verdict form indicates, the jury found movant guilty. We confronted almost identical circumstances to those presented here in our recent case of State v. Weaver, 591 S.W.2d 727 (Mo.App.1979). We believe that Weaver is controlling, and therefore, we affirm the Circuit Court’s order overruling movant’s motion.”
