These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Before a verdict of guilty, which has been approved by the district court, may be set aside because of insufficient evidence, it must clearly be shown that upon no hypothesis whatever is there substantial evidence to support the conclusion reached by the district court.” (Syl. 3.)”

2. ““The trial court in ruling on defendant’s motion found no error sufficient to warrant a mistrial. We have recognized that the trial judge is in a far better position than this court to assess the impaot of improper questioning by the prosecuting attorney on the jury. [Citation omitted.] It is our opinion that any prejudice that may have arisen from the prosecutor’s cross-examination of defendant in the present case was cured by the trial court’s forthright admonition to the jury.” (State v. Kane, 218 Kan. p. 16.)”
