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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Evidence of uncharged crimes, wrongs, or acts is inadmissible for the purpose of showmg the propensity of the defendant to commit the charged crime. Such evidence is admissible, however, if it is both logically and legally relevant. To be logically relevant, the evidence of prior misconduct must have a legitimate tendency to establish directly the defendant’s guilt of the charged crime. If the evidence tends to establish motive, rntent, absence of mistake or accident, a common scheme or plan embracing the commission of two or more crimes so related to each other that the proof of one tends to establish the other, or identity, it is admissible. To be legally relevant, the probative value of the evidence must outweigh the prejudicial effect. Evidence of prior misconduct that does not constitute one of the five enumerated exceptions may be admissible if the evidence is logically and legally relevant. Balancing the value and effect of evidence rests with-m the sound discretion of the trial court, (citations omitted)”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. McCracken“`The evidence of prior domestic abuse tended to establish his intent and motive to commit the crimes charged. See State v. Dooley , 851 S.W.2d 683 , 688 (Mo.App. 1993) (where evidence of violence in [a] relationship with [the] victim tended to establish [the] defendant's motive to commit [the] crimes of kidnapping and assault). The probative value of this evidence outweighed its prejudicial effect.'”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Hulsey v. State“"the trial court did not abuse its discretion in determining that the evidence concerning the prior bad acts of domestic abuse by the appellant against the victim were admissible; they tended to prove the appellant's motive and intent, both of which were at issue, and the probative value outweighed any prejudicial effect caused by the admission of such evidence."”
