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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘‘Under the laws of Kansas, the ‘prosecuting attorney’ is always the ‘county attorney.’ (Gen. Stat. 283, 284, §§ 135, 136, 137.) That is, every criminal action prosecuted in the name of the state, must be prosecuted by the county attorney, who is the public prosecutor. Therefore, for the purpose of prosecuting criminal actions, the prosecuting attorney and the county attorney is one and the same person.””
