The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““While dying declarations, to be admissible, must be made under a sense of impending death, it is not necessary that the declarant state that he is expecting immediate death, nor is it necessary to show that the deceased was apprehensive of immediate dissolution, it being sufficient to show that she had abandoned all hope and regarded her death as impending and certain as the result of the injury inflicted.” (State v. Smith, 103 Kan. 148, 161 , 174 Pac. 551 .)”
