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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . This court has repeatedly held that if the evidence is otherwise admissible it is of no consequence whether the similar offense occurred prior or subsequent to the offense with which the defendant is charged. The time of the similar offense and its relation to the offense charged goes only to tire weight of the evidence. (State v. King, 111 Kan. 140 , 206 Pac. 883 ; State v. Wahl, 118 Kan. 771 , 236 Pac. 652 .)””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Bell · State v. Jamerson““. . . If previous crime or conduct has a natural and logical tendency to establish the crime, or an element of the crime, for which the defendant is on trial, the evidence is admissible and ought to be admitted, as this court has many times held. Moreover, mere remoteness in time affects the weight to be given such evidence, rather than its admissibility. The question is — did the evidence tend to prove guilty knowledge? . . .””
