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 72 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Although it is better practice, if possible to prove the venue by direct evidence, this cannot in all cases be done. It is not necessary that venue be proved by direct evidence established by questions and answers specifically naming the particular county and state in which the offense was alleged to have been committed. It is sufficient if facts and circumstances are shown by the evidence from which the jury may find where the crime was committed. Boyle v. State (1955), 234 Ind. 215 , 125 N.E.2d 707 ; Johnson v. State (1957), 236 Ind. 509 , 141 N.E.2d 444 ; Moore v. State (1913), 179 Ind. 353 , 101 N.E. 295 ; Williams v. State (1907), 168 Ind. 87 , 79 N.E. 1079 .””
