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.
““. . . In criminal cases it is never competent for the court to take a question of fact away from the jury and to decide it itself. . . (p. 386.) More recently, in State v. Hanks, 179 Kan. 145 292 P. 2d 1096 , this court declared: “. . . It is the rule, subject to some exceptions not involved in this case, that in criminal cases it is never proper for the court to take a question of fact away from the jury and to decide it itself. . . .” (p. 147.)”
