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 44 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ . . . surroundings bearing upon the necessity or apparent necessity, as well as the amount of force necessary to employ to resist an attack, can only be determined from the standpoint of the appellant at the time and under all the existing circumstances, and were all proper matters for the jury alone to consider and weigh in determining whether or not she committed the homicide in the reasonable exercise of the right of self-defense, and its conclusion thereon the record before us will not allow us to disturb.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Bange v. State · Bowens v. State“[C]ontrary to the strict rules for construing statutes, the one in question [now IND. CODE § 34-1-14-5] has been somewhat broadened to include as privileged, not only communications by the patient to his physician, but any other information the physician may obtain from a physical examination of the patient, or by observation while in the discharge of his professional duty, or knowledge gained through the intervention of a third party, with a view to intelligent treatment.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. In re C.P. · Matter of CP““According to the decisions last cited, the words ‘matters communicated,’ as used in the statute to cover privileged information, may be defined as information obtained in the sick room, heard or observed by the physician, or of which he is otherwise informed pertaining to the patient and upon which he is persuaded to do some act or give some direction or advice in the discharge of his professional obligation.” (Emphasis supplied.)”
