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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Deterrence obviously has little or no relevance in the pre-trial diversion setting. By deliberate design, invocation of the diversion statute avoids the consequences of a public prosecution and conviction, and thus any ‘deterrent effect’ on others in the community is intentionally minimized or eliminated. The ‘deterrent value’ to the individual defendant comes as the result of the program itself, which should be devised to encourage the defendant’s rehabilitation, where necessary, and to ensure that he or she will not be the subject of criminal charges in the future.” 605 S.W.2d at 834 .”
