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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““(a) Before or during trial a plea of guilty or nolo contendere may be accepted when: “(1) The defendant or counsel for the defendant enters such plea in open court; and “(2) in felony cases the court has informed the defendant of the consequences of the plea and of the maximum penalty provided by law which may be imposed upon acceptance of such plea; and “(3) in felony cases the court has addressed the defendant personally and determined that the plea is made voluntarily with understanding of the nature of the charge and the consequences of the plea; and “(4) the court is satisfied that there is a factual basis for the plea. “(b) In felony cases the defendant must appear and plead personally and a verbatim record of all proceedings at the plea and entiy of judgment thereon shall be made.””

2. ““[A]ll appropriate procedures for accepting a plea were accomplished, and a presentence investigation report was ordered and completed. The journal entry reflected a finding of guilt, and counsel never objected to the court’s omission of a finding of guilt when the plea was taken and never contended the court lacked jurisdiction due to that omission. “We note a presentence investigation report is not made until there is a finding of guilt. We also note that the court was assumed by all parties to be doing what was requested by all the parties — accepting a plea of guilty. “We are not faced here with a court that has announced a decision without making appropriate findings. All procedures necessary for the finding of guilt were accomplished.” 18 Kan. App. 2d at 792.”

3. ““When the record, docket entry, and subsequent actions by the court and parties indicate that the defendant intended to plead guilty, the plea was properly taken, sentencing followed, and there, was no objection to the process, the failure of the judge to orally articulate an express acceptance of die guilty plea will not invalidate the plea and conviction.” 18 Kan. App. 2d 788 , Syl. ¶ 1.”
