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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The law is well settled in this state that the granting of a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence rests largely in the discretion of the trial court, and such motion is ordinarily not granted unless the trial court is satisfied that such new evidence would probably produce a different verdict. The credibility of the evidence offered in support of the motion is for the trial court’s consideration. (State v. Law, 203 Kan. 89 , 452 P.2d 862 ; United States v. Gleeson, 411 F.2d 1091 ; State v. Hale, 206 Kan. 521 , 479 P.2d 902 ; and State v. Campbell, 207 Kan. 152 , 483 P.2d 495 .) “It has also been held where a new trial is sought on the basis of recanting testimony of a prosecution witness, the weight to be given such testimony is for the trial judge passing on the motion for a new trial. (State v. Theus, 207 Kan. 571 , 485 P.2d 1327 .)” Larkin, supra, p. 161 .”
