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

1. “'I'm not going to modify sentence for someone who won't follow the basic terms and conditions of a probation that I give.' " 308 Kan. at 961 , 425 P.3d 365 . The State later moved to correct the illegal sentence of postrelease supervision, which the district court granted. On review, our Supreme Court found that the district court specifically rejected a sentence modification at the probation revocation hearing and reinstated the original illegal sentence, so the district court was authorized to correct the illegal sentence and impose lifetime postrelease supervision. 308 Kan. at 965 , 425 P.3d 365 . The court held: "[A]fter revoking a criminal defendant's probation, a district judge may choose to sentence anew, even if some component of the original sentence was illegal because it failed to match a mandatory statutory minimum. In the alternative, a judge may simply require the defendant to serve the original sentence. If a new sentence is pronounced from the bench after probation revocation, any original illegality no longer exists, and the new sentence is not subject to challenge or correction under K.S.A. 22-3504. If the judge instead requires the defendant to serve the original sentence, any original illegality continues to exist and is subject to challenge or correction under K.S.A. 22-3504.”

2. “(1) 'one or some indiscriminately of whatever kind'; (2) 'one, some, or all indiscriminately of whatever quantity'; and (3) 'unmeasured or unlimited in amount, number, or extent.' The ordinary and plain meaning of the term 'any' thus connotes something without limits. [Citation omitted.]”
