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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Nor did the court err in refusing to compel the state to elect upon which count she would proceed. It is usual to frame several counts where only a single offense is intended to be charged, for the purpose of meeting the evidence as it may transpire at the trial, and in such cases the court will not compel the prosecutor to elect,” — citing State v. Porter, 26 Mo. 206 ; State v. Pitts, 58 Mo. 556 .”
