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

““It is well settled that it is improper for counsel in argument to comment on matters not in evidence, and it is the duty of the trial court to see that they refrain from doing so. On proper objection from the defendant the court must at once require a retraction of any improper statement, or if necessary to insure that the defendant receive a fair trial, instruct the jury to disregard the statement. See: Magnuson v. The State ex rel. Jarrett (1895), 13 Ind. App. 303, 306 , 41 N.E. 545, 546 , Schlotter v. The State ex rel. Croy (1891), 127 Ind. 493, 496 , 27 N.E. 149, 150 ; 8 I.L.E., Matters Not in Evidence, § 385, p. 440.””

e.g. 162 Ind. App. 445 - Hartwell v. State · Marsh v. State
““A prosecuting attorney certainly has a duty to present the state’s strongest case. In doing so, however, he is not licensed to use unethical or inflammatory tactics in an attempt to convict an accused. He has the same duty as a court to see that justice is administered in conformity with the recognized principles of the law.” (Emphasis added.)”
