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 82 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘Judicial discretion is abused when judicial action is arbitrary, fanciful, or unreasonable. ... If reasonable persons could differ as to the propriety of the action taken by the trial court, then it cannot be said that the trial court abused its discretion. Judicial discretion must thus be considered as exercisable only within the bounds of reason and justice in the broader sense and be considered abused only when it plainly overpasses those bounds.’ State v. Stallings, 262 Kan, 721, Syl. ¶ 6, 942 P.2d 11 (1997).” State v. Gardner, 264 Kan. at 104 .”
