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 100 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Evidence is logically relevant if it tends to make the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence, or if it tends to corroborate evidence which itself is relevant and bears on the principal issue of the case.”
8 later decisions quote this exact passage“1) what the evidence will be; 2) the purpose and object of the evidence; and 3) each fact essential to establishing the admissibility of the evidence.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“First, that on or about August 30, 1994, in the County of Callaway, State of Missouri, the defendant or Eric Elliott caused the death of Flossie Brewer by shooting her, and Second, that the defendant or Eric Elliott knew or was aware that his conduct was practically certain to cause the death of Flossie Brewer, and . Third, that the defendant or Eric Elliott did so after deliberation, which, means cool reflection on the matter for any length of time no matter how brief then you are instructed that the offense of murder in the first degree has occurred, and if you further find and believe from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt: Fourth, that -with the purpose of promoting or furthering the death of Flossie Brewer, the defendant aided or encouraged Eric Elliott in causing the death of Flossie Brewer and did so after deliberation, which means cool reflection upon the matter for any length of time no matter how brief then you will find the defendant guilty under Count I of murder in the first degree. However, unless you find and believe from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt each and all of these propositions, you must find the defendant not guilty of that offense.”
