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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This court has long been committed to the rale that the unsupported and uncorroborated statements of the petitioner in a habeas corpus proceeding do not sustain the burden of proof or justify the granting of a writ where, as here, the judgment rendered is regular on its face and entitled to a presumption of regularity and validity. (Hartman v. Edmondson, 178 Kan. 164, 166 , 283 P. 2d 397 ; Strong v. Edmondson, 177 Kan. 247 , 277 P. 2d 585 .)””
