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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Generally the corpus delicti consists of independent evidence of each of the elements of the crime. Cambrón, supra. The order of proof of the independent evidence is within the sound discretion of the trial judge and no abuse will occur where the nature of the case, the evidence, or convenience requires a deviation from the usual order. Thomas v. State, (1975), [262] Ind. [590], 321 N.E.2d 194 ; Ballard [v. State, 262 Ind. 482 , 318 N.E.2d 798 ], supra.””
