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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the case at bar, the prosecutor attempted to impeach Massey s credibility by asking him if he remembered making certain statements to the police regarding his Miranda warnings. Massey’s statement was made prior to arrest and therefore prior to any Miranda warnings. We find no constitutional violation in the prosecutor’s actions. Doyle and its progeny did not provide unlimited protection to the criminal defendant who testifies in his own behalf; rather, they stand for the principle that a defendant’s silence induced by government action cannot be used to impeach his credibility. [Citations omitted.] Massey has attempted to extend the Doyle rule to a situation where no government action has induced silence .... We find no error.” 247 Kan. at 82 .”
