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. ““Where a court has wide discretion in sentencing, both die prosecution and defendant submit to tiiat discretion when entering a plea agreement. In such circumstances, a guilty plea is not involuntaiy if the defendant is told of the range of the court’s discretion before entering the plea. See, e.g., [State v.] Solomon, 257 Kan. [212, 217, 891 P.2d 407 (1995)]. Where the law and die facts specifically dictate or allow a sentencing enhancement, however, the prosecution and the court must share knowledge of such a situation with the defendant in order for the guilty plea to be voluntaiy. [Citations omitted.] In order to allow a criminal defense attorney to fulfill his or her obligations to a defendant concerning die consequences of pleading guilty, the defense attorney must have, and thus the prosecutor must share with the defense attorney, knowledge of any expunged juvenile adjudications that will be used in the defendant’s criminal histoiy.” Murray, 22 Kan. App. 2d at 348 .”
