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.
“Defense counsel on this appeal with commendable zeal has made a vigorous attempt to show that the public defender was overworked and was consequently unable to and did not devote the necessary time and effort to the preparation and presentation of the defense in this case. Testimony with respect to this issue was given by defendant, the public defender and the public defender’s investigator. All of this testimony, together with the skillful argument made by defense counsel on this appeal, have been carefully considered, but we remain unpersuaded that the defendant has carried the burden of proving that the public defender failed to provide effective assistance of counsel within the prescription of Seales v. State, 580 S.W.2d 733 (Mo. banc 1979). A detailed review of the evidence on this point would have no precedential value and would serve no other useful purpose.”
