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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the instant case the record discloses continuing contacts related to drugs, between the agents of the attorney general’s office and defendant. The statement attributed to defendant tended to prove those contacts existed and eventually led to the transaction which resulted in defendant’s arrest. Defendant’s prior offer to sell the drugs was relevant and material to his ultimate sale of drugs to the agent. As stated in Martin , the fact the questioned evidence related to a prior crime . . . does not prohibit its introduction to show commission of the offense charged.” Solem, 220 Kan. at 476 .”
