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 65 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘It is only when there is an absence of substantial evidence on an essential element of an alleged crime, or when the evidence is without conflict and leads to but one reasonable conclusion and the verdict of the jury reached a contrary conclusion, that the verdict will be disturbed as not being supported by sufficient evidence or as being contrary to law. Bowens v. State (1952), 231 Ind. 559 , 109 N. E. 2d 91 .’ Weaver v. State (1963), 243 Ind. 560 , 187 N. E. 2d 485, 488 .” 244 Ind. at 600, 194 N. E. 2d at 728 .”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Ballard v. State · Davis v. State““. . . The trial court is not required to accept tendered instructions and give them in the exact language in which they are tendered. It may, so long as they are proper, give instructions in its own language, and when a subject is substantially covered in an instruction given by the court, it is not error to refuse one tendered by the defendant which is in substance the same but is couched in different language.” Bange v. State (1958), 237 Ind. 422, 435 , 146 N. E. 2d 811 ; Beatty v. State (1963), 244 Ind. 598, 603 , 194 N. E. 2d 727 ; DeBoor v. State (1962), 243 Ind. 87, 93 , 182 N. E. 2d 250 .”
