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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The rights of the defendant and the State upon a new trial are clearly defined by statute: ‘A new trial is a re-examination of the issues in the same court. The granting of a new trial places the parties in the same position as if no trial had been had; the former verdict cannot be used or referred to, either in the evidence or argument.’ §§1909, 1910, Burns 1901 [now Burns’ Ind. Stat. Anno. §§9-1901, 9-1902 (1956 Repl.)]. “It is entirely clear that when the appellee asked for and obtained a new trial of the issues in his case, the results of the previous trial were wholly vacated. He could not, under the indictment, take a new trial as to the issue upon one count, and not upon the other. If he obtained a new trial, he was bound to take it upon the terms and conditions of the statute, and one of those conditions was that ‘the parties should be placed in the same position as if no trial had been had.’ This point has been decided in many cases in this State, and must be considered as settled.” [Citing cases.]”
