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 45 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The case has been exhaustively and carefully tried by both sides and has been submitted to you for decision and verdict. Although under the law, a verdict must be unanimous, and should be based upon honest judgment, not mere acquiescence for tlie sake of expediency, it is still necessary that you examine die matters submitted to you with the proper regard for and deference to the opinion of each other. A proper regard for die judgment of each other should help you greatly in forming your own judgment. There is no reason to think diat a jury better qualified dian you would ever be chosen to try this case. Therefore, each of you should listen to die arguments of the others with an openmindedness characteristic of a disposition to be convinced by them, and if you differ in your views of the evidence, you should all be led by such differences of opinion to scrutinize die evidence more closely and to re-examine more carefully the grounds of your opinion. You should, after all, decide the issues of fact which have been submitted to you. In conferring, you should lay aside all mere pride of opinion, and you should bear in mind diat die jury room is no place for espousing and maintaining in a spirit of controversy either side of a particular cause. The aim to be kept in view is the trudi as it appears from die evidence, which evidence you must consider with the instructions of die court.” 215 Kan. at 372 .”
