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 57 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘Multiplicity in criminal pleading is the charging of a single offense in several counts. . . . Multiplicity exists when the State attempts to use a single wrongful act as the basis for multiple charges. The general principles for determining whether charges are multiplicitous are these: “ ‘(1) A single offense may not be divided into sejDarate parts; generally, a single wrongful'act may not furnish the basis for more than one criminal prosecution. “ ‘(2) If each offense charged requires proof of a fact not required in proving the other, the offenses do not merge. “ ‘(3) Where offenses are committed separately and severally, at different times and at different places, they cannot be said to arise out of a single wrongful act.’ ” 231 Kan. at 162-63 .”
