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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Such conduct is tantamount to the trial judge constituting himself a member of the jury and taking part in the deliberations. The written instructions should be read to the jury prior to the argument of the counsel. (See G. S. 1935, 62-1438; State v. Potter, 15 Kan. 302 ; State v. Stoffel, 48 Kan. 364 , 29 Pac. 685 ; and State v. Howland, 157 Kan. 11 , 138 P. 2d 424 .)” (l. c. 9.)”
