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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““All litigation must come to an end at some time. Where a trial has been had, as in this case, and a motion for a new trial filed which has been overruled and no appeal taken from the judgment, all matters of record which were adjudicated or could have been adjudicated within the issues (including a defense of insanity which might have been raised) are finally determined and all parties bound thereby. Principles of res judicata do not permit the repeated litigation of matters settled by a final judgment. 50 C. J. S. Judgments, §682, p. 128; 17 I. L. E. Judgments, §380, p. 416, 9 Ind. L. J., 187; Pelfree v. State (1957), 237 Ind. 302 , 145 N. E. 2d 295 .” Etheridge v. State (1960), 240 Ind. 384 , 164 N. E. 2d 642 .”

2. “"In reality, the trial court in this appeal had no jurisdiction to entertain the second petition for writ of error coram nobis. The statute on this subject provides: `No court shall have jurisdiction to entertain any proceeding for writ of error coram nobis in which the defendant alleges matters or issues which have been or might have been adjudicated in a prior proceeding for writ of error coram nobis brought by the defendant, and a writ of prohibition shall issue to prevent any such court from so assuming jurisdiction.' Acts 1947, ch. 189, § 2, p. 625, being § 9-3302, Burns' 1956 Repl." Etheridge v. State (1960), 240 Ind. 384, 388 , 164 N.E.2d 642 .”

   e.g. Spires v. State

3. ““It is conceded that an examination of the transcript on the hearing on the petition for writ of error coram nobis does little to substantiate this allegation. This allegation, however, is inextricably woven with the allegation of incbmpetency of counsel at the trial, and these two points will therefore be discussed jointly.””
