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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “The fact that appellant had previously engaged in prostitution, a fact not conceded by appellant, does not, by construction of the applicable statutes preclude prosecution for the promoting of prostitution under § 567.050. In other words, a prostitute, if warranted by particular facts and circumstances, can, by the commission of certain acts, also be charged for the promotion of prostitution. The mere fact that the accused is a prostitute does not exclude that person from § 567.-050. (Emphasis supplied).”
