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

1. ““ ‘The admissibility of expert testimony is within the broad discretion of the trial court. A party claiming an abuse of trial court discretion bears the burden of showing abuse of discretion. The test on appellate review of whether the trial court abused its discretion is whether no reasonable person would agree with the trial court. If.any reasonable person would agree, appellate courts will not disturb the trial court’s decision.’ Marshall v. Mayflower Transit, Inc., 249 Kan. 620 , Syl. ¶ 8, 822 P.2d 591 (1991).” State v. Cheeks, 253 Kan. 93, 99 , 853 P.2d 655 (1993).”

2. ““ ‘In a criminal action, a trial court must instruct the jury on the law applicable to the defendant’s theories for which there is supporting evidence.

Scott, 250 Kan. 350 , Syl. ¶ 4, 827 P.2d 733 (1992).””
