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 65 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) The statute defining the offense makes him so responsible; or (2) Either before or during the commission of an offense with the purpose of promoting the commission of an offense, he aids or agrees to aid or attempts to aid such other person in planning, committing or attempting to commit the offense.”
8 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Newbold · State v. Roberts“If the Legislature had intended to require an aider to have a dual intent, it would have said so in the statutes. To the contrary, the only [intent] requirement expressed in the three sections is found in § 562.041.1(2) [described above]. . . . Therefore to be found guilty of a particular offense, an aider must aid another or others with the conscious object of causing that offense. A finding that the aider had this intent is equivalent to finding that the aider and active participant shared a common intent or purpose.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Roberts · State v. O'BRIEN“In White , the court ruled: “[Section] 562.051, RSMo. 1978, does not create any elements of intent in addition to that of § 562.041, RSMo. 1978”. The court went on to further rule that § 562.041.1(2) requires an aider to have the intent “to purposely promote the commission of the offense.” The court was ruling that this is the “required culpable mental state” referenced in § 562.036.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Johns · State v. Sims
