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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When the state relies on circumstantial evidence to secure a conviction, ‘the facts and circumstances on which the state relies must be consistent with guilt and inconsistent with any reasonable theory of innocence, and they must exclude every reasonable hypothesis of the defendant's innocence.’ ” Weide, 775 S.W.2d at 258 (quoting State v. Prier, 634 S.W.2d 197, 199 (Mo. banc 1982)). The Supreme Court rejected this rule, both' as a jury instruction and as an appellate standard of review, in State v. Grim, 854 S.W.2d at 408 .”
