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.

““ ‘Improper remarks made in closing argument are grounds for reversal only when they are so gross and flagrant as to prejudice the jury against the accused and deny him or her a fair trial.’ Whitaker, 255 Kan. 118 , Syl. ¶ 7. ‘In deciding whether improper remarks by the prosecution during closing argument constitute harmless error, the reviewing court must be able to find that the error had little, if any, likelihood of changing the result of the trial. Such a belief must be declared beyond a reasonable doubt.’ State v. Gibbons, 256 Kan. 951 , Syl. ¶ 9, 889 P.2d 772 (1995).” Collier, 259 Kan. at 354 .”
