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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is true that the trial judge has a duty, in charging the jury, to "state to them all matters of law which are necessary for their information in giving their verdict." IC 1971, 35-1-35-1 (Burns Code Ed.). The performance of this duty requires some discretion on the part of the trial court. [Citations omitted.] Clearly, an error on the part of the trial judge in instructing the jury is likely to be corrected if the defense counsel informs the judge of his objections. The policy requiring timely and specific objections to jury instructions is one which weighs heavily against invocation of the fundamental error doctrine. The very purpose of the specific objection rule is "to indicate specific errors in the trial court's instructions so that the court may have an opportunity to make any necessary corrections in order to avoid a new trial." [Citations omitted.] (Emphasis added.)”
