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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[1] was used deliberately and, therefore, notwithstanding proof of any of the enumerated circumstances, there must be proof that such act was done with reckless disregard for the safety of others in order to constitute the offense charged. [2] In other words, the mere fact that a person attempts to pass another when his view is obstructed for less than 500 feet does not per se, under all circumstances, constitute a crime of reckless homicide if a person is killed as a result of such act. It must be established that the enumerated act was performed”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Appellant was charged by affidavit with reckless homicide in violation of § 47-2001(a), Burns' 1940 Replacement (Acts of 1939, ch. 48, § 52). "Reckless homicide, under the statute referred to above, is a form of involuntary manslaughter and doesn't belong to the class of crimes which may be charged in the language of the statute. Facts must be alleged which make it appear that the death was due to reckless disregard of the safety of others. State v. Beckman (1941), 219 Ind. 176, 185 , 37 N.E.2d 531 ; Turrell v. State (1943), 221 Ind. 662, 667 , 51 N.E.2d 359 ; Smith v. State (1917), 186 Ind. 252, 256, 258 , 115 N.E. 943 . Therefore, it was proper that facts be alleged in the affidavit in this case to establish the reckless disregard for the safety of others under sub-section (a) of the statute."”
