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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . To constitute a denial of the constitutional right to counsel it must clearly appear that the representation afforded the accused was wholly ineffective and inadequate. (Reid v. State, 213 Kan. 298 , 515 P. 2d 1040 .) The adequacy of counsel’s services to his client must be gauged by the totality of his representation. (Bruffet v. State, 208 Kan. 942 , 494 P. 2d 1160 .) Rule 121 (g) provides the petitioner has the burden of establishing his grounds for relief by a preponderance of the evidence. ( 211 Kan. xliv .) Mere conclusionary contentions of the petitioner for which no evidentiary basis appears are not sufficient basis for relief from conviction. (Burns v. State, 215 Kan. 497 , 524 P. 2d 737 .) Implicit in the district court’s order denying the petitioner post-conviction relief is a finding that he failed to sustain his burden of proof.” (1. c. 255.)”
