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

2. “Based on Miranda and [Michigan v. Mosley, 423 U.S. 96 , 96 S. Ct. 321 , 46 L. Ed. 2d 313 (1975)], if a defendant invokes his or her right to remain silent, the interrogation must stop immediately and the right must be scrupulously honored. This does not mean an interrogation resumed at a later time is invalidated if the defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived the right to be silent at this later time and the defendant's right to be silent was scrupulously honored while it was invoked.”

3. ““The defendant is charged with the crime of murder in the second degree. The defendant pleads not guilty. “To establish this charge, each of the following claims must be proved: “1. That the defendant intentionally killed Paul G. Madden; and “2. That it was not done upon an unreasonable but honest belief that circumstances existed that justified deadly force in defense of a person; and “3. That this act occurred on or about the 27th [day of] February, 1997, in Sedgwick County, Kansas.””
