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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is the responsibility of the objecting party to insure that the trial judge has heard and ruled on the objection and if this is not done, nothing is preserved for review. Reed v. Spencer, 758 S.W.2d 736, 738-39 (Mo.App.1988). Further, the burden is on the party raising an objection to insist on a ruling. Should counsel fail to do so, it is assumed that the objection has been overruled and the evidence is in the record for consideration. Sykes v. Bi-State Development, 716 S.W.2d 856, 858 (Mo.App.1986); Welch v. Welch, 633 S.W.2d 447, 450 (Mo.App.1982).”
