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 68 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[I]n cases of crimes involving illicit sexual relations or acts between an adult and a child, evidence of prior acts of similar nature between the same parties is admissible independent of K.S.A. 60-455 where the evidence is not offered for the purpose of proving distinct offenses, but rather to establish the relationship of the parties, the existence of a continuing course of conduct between the parties, or to corroborate the testimony of the complaining witness as to the act charged.” 229 Kan. at 387 .”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Bliss · State v. Moore““Numerous decisions by this court have pointed out that where a marital homicide is involved, evidence of a discordant marital relationship, and of the defendant’s previous ill treatment of his wife, including his prior threats to kill her, is competent as bearing on the defendant’s motive and intent. State v. Fenton, 228 Kan. 658, 667-68 , 620 P.2d 813 (1980); State v. Anicker, 217 Kan. 314, 316 , 536 P.2d 1355 (1975); State v. Patterson, 200 Kan. 176 , Syl. ¶ 2, 434 P.2d 808 (1967). In State v. Wood, 230 Kan. 477, 479-80 , 638 P.2d 908 (1982), we held such evidence was admissible independent of K.S.A. 60-455, where it was not offered for the purpose of proving the offense charged, but rather to establish the prior violent relationship between the parties and the defendant’s prior intent to kill his wife. These and other cases have indicated the high degree of relevancy inherent in such evidence to prove a critical issue in the case. See State v. Egbert, 227 Kan. 266, 269 , 606 P.2d 1022 , cert. denied 449 U.S. 965 (1980); State v. Rupe, 226 Kan. 474, 477-78 , 601 P.2d 675 (1979).” 232 Kan. at 121 .”
