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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the punishment attempted to be imposed by the judgment be greater than is authorized by law, the judgment is void. . . . The attempted sentence being a nullity, the petitioner stands in the position of one who has not been sentenced at all. He has pleaded guilty to a definite charge of a crime, but has not been sentenced therefor. . . . It is the judgment of this court that the sentence is void; but the conviction being regular and valid, the petitioner ought not to be discharged. A valid judgment should be rendered, and the petitioner should be returned to the custody of the proper authorities for that purpose.” (In re Howard, 72 Kan. 273, 277, 278 , 83 Pac. 1032 .)”
