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

1. ““ ‘Judicial scrutiny of counsel's performance must be highly deferential, and a fair assessment of attorney performance requires that every effort be made to eliminate the distorting effects of hindsight, to reconstruct the circumstances of counsel’s challenged conduct, and to evaluate the conduct from counsel’s perspective at the time. A court must indulge a strong presumption that counsel’s conduct falls within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance.’ ” 20 Kan. App. 2d at 514 -15 (quoting Chamberlain v. State, 236 Kan. 650, 656-57 , 694 P.2d 468 [1985]).”

2. ““ To set aside a guilty plea because of ineffective assistance of counsel based on an allegation that counsel’s conduct rendered the plea involuntary, a defendant must show counsel’s performance fell below the standard of reasonableness and there is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel’s ineffectiveness, the results would have been different.” Garrett v. State, 20 Kan. App. 2d 513, 514 , 889 P.2d 795 , rev. denied 257 Kan. 1091 (1995).”
