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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Counsel shall make specific objections to instructions or verdict forms considered erroneous. No party may assign as error the giving or failure to give instructions or verdict forms unless the party objects thereto before the jury retires to consider its verdict, stating distinctly the matter objected to and the grounds of the objection. Counsel need not repeat objections already made on the record prior to delivery of the instructions and verdict forms. The objections must also be raised in the motion for new trial in accordance with Rule 29.11.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Hayes · State v. Wright“A defendant cannot stand idly by, permitting the giving of an erroneous instruction, and then benefit from his inaction. [State v. Martindale, 945 S.W.2d 669, 673 (Mo.App. E.D.1997) ]. The failure to object to an instruction constitutes a waiver of error. Id. “Instructional error rarely rises to the level of plain error.””
