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.
“Evidence a defendant committed crimes separate and distinct from the crime charged is not admissible to show the defendant is likely guilty of the charged offense because he has a propensity to commit such crimes. State v. Clover, 924 S.W.2d 853, 855 (Mo. banc 1996). However, evidence of prior misconduct is admissible if it is logically relevant to the offense charged, i.e., if it has some legitimate tendency to establish the defendant is guilty of the offense for which he is on trial. State v. Bernard, 849 S.W.2d 10,13 (Mo. banc 1993).”
