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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If a defendant has been required by pretrial or discovery order to disclose defense witnesses prior to trial and fails to do so, and attempts to call a witness or witnesses not disclosed, then in ruling on prosecution objections the trial court should: (1) Inquire why the witness or witnesses were not disclosed; (2) determine when the witness first became known to defense counsel, and whether the nondisclosure was willful or inadvertent; (3) determine whether the proposed testimony is trivial or substantial, whether it goes to an important or minor issue; (4) determine the extent of prejudice to the State, and the importance of the witness to the defense; (5) determine any other relevant facts; (6) grant the State a recess if prejudice can be avoided or reduced by such action; and (7) avoid imposing the severe sanction of prohibiting the calling of the witness if at all possible. This should be viewed as a last resort.” 229 Kan. at 194 .”
