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.
“"The writ of habeas corpus provides a mechanism under which a criminal defendant can seek relief from confinement under an erroneous bond, or even relief while released on bail. See K.S.A. 1997 Supp. 60-1501, the statutory habeas corpus proceeding; see also In re Habeas Corpus Petition of Mason, 245 Kan. 111 , 115, 775 P.2d 179 (1989) ('A defendant who has been released on bond nevertheless remains in custody for purposes of a writ of habeas corpus'; writ of habeas corpus raising double jeopardy issue following mistrial granted and defendant discharged.)."
