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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[Section 492.304.1(4)] precludes leading questions which essentially put words in the child’s mouth. We have viewed the tape in entirety and do not find it violates the statute. It may be conceded that the interviewer directed the child, a three year old with a relatively short attention span, to the areas of inquiry. But the child herself denominated the dolls used as representing herself, her brother and her father. She was asked what she and her father did. She demonstrated with the dolls what occurred. At no point in the tape did the interviewer suggest any conduct or phrase the question so as to suggest an answer. After identifying the conduct of her father the child was asked ‘Does daddy do that one time or lots of times?’ The child responded ‘Lots of times.’ She was then asked ‘Does anybody else do that to you?’ Answer ‘No.’ Q. ‘Anybody?’ A. ‘Just Daddy.’ These are not leading questions as they do not suggest an answer. The tape was properly admitted.””

First, the matter must be raised at the first opportunity; second, the sections of the Constitution claimed to be violated must be specified; third, the point must be preserved in the motion for new trial; and fourth it must be adequately covered in the briefs.”
