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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The inquiry under the statute is whether prejudice has occurred to the appellant. State v. Smith, 225 Kan. 796, 798 , 594 P.2d 218 (1979). ‘Prior to trial, the prosecution is given wide discretion in amending the information as to form and substance.’ State v. Foy, 227 Kan. 405, 408 , 607 P.2d 481 (1980). The statute does not explicitly require that a hearing be held prior to the decision to amend a complaint. The absence of such a hearing is not error. It was not error to allow the prosecutor to add a different crime, and appellant fails to show that he was prejudiced, which he must do in order to obtain reversal on those grounds. See State v. Johnson, 223 Kan. 185 , 573 P.2d 595 (1977); State v. Gilley, 5 Kan. App. 2d 321 , 615 P.2d 827 , rev. denied 228 Kan. 807 (1980); State v. Wright, 4 Kan. App. 2d 196 , 603 P.2d 1034 (1979), rev. denied 227 Kan. 928 (1980).” 230 Kan. at 163 .”
