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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The rule that certain matters require more than a mere preponderance of evidence for their proof is one to be applied by the trial court and ‘where the findings are supported by competent and substantial testimony it will be presumed that the district court applied the proper test in weighing the evidence and finding the facts.’ (Wooddell v. Allbrecht, 80 Kan. 736 , 104 Pac. 559 , syl.) ‘Even in a criminal case, where the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, a verdict supported by substantial testimony is conclusive upon the reviewing court.’ (Leverton v. Rork, 74 Kan. 832 , 85 Pac. 800 .)””
