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 122 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Only if the trial court’s judgment is clearly erroneous will an appellate court reverse. This standard of review gives appropriate deference to the trial court’s ability to weigh the credibility of the witnesses, and acknowledges the inability of an appellate court to determine credibility from the lifeless pages of a record. Thus, if the trial court’s ruling is plausible in light of the record viewed in its entirety, this Court ‘may not reverse it even though convinced that had it been sitting as the trier of fact, it would have weighed the evidence differently.’”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage““Yowell does not control this ease. Subsequent to this Court’s decision in Yowell , Section 542.296, RSMo 1986, took effect. Section 542.296 created new law; it did not have a statutory antecedent. By its clear language Section 542.296.6 places ‘the burden of going forward with the evidence and the risk of nonpersuasion’ on the state ‘to show by a preponderance of the evidence that the motion to suppress should be overruled.’ The language of Section 542.296.6 is therefore consistent with cases holding that warrantless searches are presumptively unreasonable and the burden of placing the search within an exception to the warrant requirement falls on the State. State v. Olds, 603 S.W.2d 501, 506 (Mo.banc 1980). The State’s point is denied.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularity describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
