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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““(1) Intentionally or recklessly causing bodily liarm to another person; or “(2) intentionally causing physical contact with another person when done in a rude, insulting, or angry manner.” (Emphasis added.) “A trial court has the affirmative duty to instruct the jury on all lesser included offenses established by the evidence. Instruction on lesser included offenses must be given even though the evidence is weak and inconclusive and consists solely of die testimony of the defendant. An instruction on a lesser included offense is not required, however, if the evidence at trial excludes a theory of guilt on the lesser offense. The duty of the trial court to instruct on the lesser included offense is applicable only when the evidence introduced at the trial is such that the defendant might reasonably have been convicted of the lesser offense.” (Emphasis added.) State v. Deggs, 251 Kan. 342 , Syl. ¶ 1, 834 P.2d 376 (1992).”
