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.
““Surely it can not be said that to constitute a violation of the statute (Ind. Ann. Stat. § 10-4220 (1969 Supp.)), the offer must be express and in precise statutory langauge. The offer was implicit in appellant’s words and actions when taken in the context in which they occurred. As was said in Burton v. State (1952), 232 Ind. 246 , 111 N.E.2d 892 , this court should not be ignorant as judges of what we know as men.””
