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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““No where does Missouri’s prior offender statute require a prior conviction as a prerequisite for the statute’s application. It defines prior offender as one who has pleaded guilty to or has been found guilty of one felony. ... Missouri law requires nothing more. The essential showing was the plea of guilty, whether or not followed by a judgment of conviction.” State v. LaPlant, 673 S.W.2d 782, 785 (Mo. banc 1984).”
