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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Despite Benwire’s argument that § 491.075 is limited by the requirement of § 492.304.1(2) that the recording be both visual and aural, the following reference to § 491.075 appears in § 492.304: 2. If the child does not testify at the proceeding, the visual and aural recording of a verbal or nonverbal statement of the child shall not be admissible under this section unless the recording qualifies for admission under section 4,91.075 RSMo. (emphasis added). Recordings that do not meet the criteria for § 492.304 may still be admissible if they qualify for admission under § 491.075. Further evidence that § 492.304 does not exclusively govern the admission of recordings of the statement of a child under twelve in these cases is the fact that there are numerous instances in which such recordings have been admitted into evidence pursuant to § 491.075. See, e.g., State v. Russell, 872 S.W.2d 866 (Mo.App.1994); State v. Olson, 854 S.W.2d 14 (Mo.App.1993); State v. Robinson 782 S.W.2d 694 (Mo.App.1989).”
