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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“To qualify as a witness of value, one need not be an expert in the usual sense of the word. It suffices that the witness knows the property and possesses information and knowledge so as to enable him to form an intelligent judgment. “[If this knowledge and information is superior to that possessed by the ordinary person who composes the jury, then he should be permitted to testify.” Thus, the only true criterion propounds this relative test: “On this subject can a jury from this person receive appreciable help?” (Citations supplied.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Fogle“[Section] 570.080 ... continues to impose criminal fault against one who receives stolen property — and, in such case, the evidence must prove a transfer from another to the receiver who then knows [or believes] the property was stolen. [Section] 570.080, however, also imposes criminal fault against one who retains or disposes the property with knowledge or belief it was stolen. 2”
