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 90 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Allegations of prosecutorial misconduct require a two-step analysis. First, the appellate court must determine whether the comments were outside the wide latitude allowed in discussing the evidence. Second, the appellate court must decide whether those comments constitute plain error; that is, whether the statements prejudiced the jury against the defendant and denied the defendant a fair trial, thereby requiring reversal.” State v. White, 284 Kan. 333 , Syl. ¶ 1, 161 P.3d 208 (2007).”
12 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Tahah · State v. McCaslin“"`"A trial court must instruct the jury on a lesser included offense ` where there is some evidence which would reasonably justify a conviction' of the lesser offense. [Citation omitted.] `If the defendant requests the instructions, the trial court has a duty to instruct the jury regarding all lesser included crimes that are established by the evidence, regardless of whether the evidence is weak or inconclusive.' [Citation omitted.] ` However the duty to so instruct arises only where there is evidence supporting the lesser crime. ' [Citation omitted.]. An instruction on a lesser included offense is not required if the jury could not reasonably convict the defendant of the lesser included offense based on the evidence presented. [Citation omitted]."' State v. Boyd, 281 Kan. 70, 93 , 127 P.3d 998 (2006) (quoting State v. Drennan, 278 Kan. 704, 712-13 , 101 P.3d 1218 [2004])." (Emphasis added.)”
