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.

1. “Movant also contends application of the escape rule in Rule 24.035 proceedings “unconstitutionally suspends the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in violation of state and federal constitutional provisions.” This claim fails because post conviction relief rules operate independently of habeas corpus relief. Enactment of such rules together with the adoption of reasonable and effective procedures does not amount to a suspension of habeas corpus. White v. State, 779 S.W.2d 571, 573 (Mo.banc 1989). A motion for post conviction relief relying on Rule 24.035 is not the equivalent of a petition for habeas corpus. Id. at 572 .”
