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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The section of the code of criminal procedure quoted is an expression of the sound and sensible rule that error, to be availing, must be injurious in fact as well as in theory. This section has been upon the statute book since 1868 (Gen. Stat. 1868, ch. 82, § 293); and even before that, in 1860, this court, in the case of The Territory v. Reyburn, 1 Kan. [Dassler’s ed.] 551, in the second paragraph of the syllabus said: “ ‘The whole spirit of the civil and criminal codes of practice, alike, is to disregard technicalities and observe the substance only.’ “Without referring to numerous early authorities, it is sufficient to suggest that this doctrine, now, in this state, made almost venerable by time, has in recent as well as in former years been approved and followed by this court. . . .” (pp. 145, 146.)”
