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

1. ““Here, McCray submitted a detailed ‘Agreed Statement’ for the purpose of supporting his plea .... It seems particularly counterproductive to require discussion with the defendant regarding the factual basis to support an Alford plea; the very nature of such a plea makes it unlikely that the defendant would agree with or accept the factual basis since it would presumably undermine his purported innocence.” (Emphasis added.) 32 Kan. App. 2d at 678 .”

2. ““At the plea hearing, the district court . . . accepted McCrays petition to enter the Alford plea, as well as the written stipulated facts supporting the factual basis for the plea. McCray s counsel specifically agreed that the written stipulated facts summarized the evidence the State believed it could produce at trial.” (Emphasis added.) 32 Kan. App. 2d at 675 .”
