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

1. ““. . . Ordinarily, a preliminary examination is not deemed a critical stage of the proceedings in this jurisdiction. (State v. Richardson, 194 Kan. 471 , 399 P. 2d 799 .) Inasmuch as an indigent accused has no constitutional right to appointed counsel at a preliminary examination, failure to provide counsel at such time does not constitute reversible error, absent a showing of prejudice to his substantial rights. A number of our recent decisions to this effect are found in Brown v. State, 198 Kan. 345 , 424 P. 2d 576 . . . . In addition, petitioner’s voluntary plea of guilty to the charge against him constituted a waiver of any alleged irregularities occurring at the preliminary examination stage. (Witt v. State, 197 Kan. 363 , 416 P. 2d 717 ; Coats v. State, 196 Kan. 607 , 413 P. 2d 81 ; Byrd v. State, 196 Kan. 466 , 413 P. 2d 61; Smith v. State, 196 Kan. 438 , 411 P. 2d 663 ; State v. Bethea, 196 Kan. 188 , 410 P. 2d 272 .)” .(p. 152.)”
