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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A person commits theft when he (1) knowingly: * * * (b) obtains by deception control over property of the owner or a signature to any written instrument * *■ * and (2) either: (a) intends to deprive the owner of the use or benefit of the property. . . .” IC 1971, 35-17-5-13 (Burns Code Ed.) provides in part: “ (3) ‘Deception’ means knowingly to: * * * (e) fail to correct a false impression which he knows to be influencing another to whom he stands in a relationship of special trust and confidence. $ Í5 (10) ‘Obtains or exerts control over property’ includes but is not limited to the taking, carrying, driving or leading away, concealment, or the sale, conveyance, encumbrance, transfer of title to or interest in, or possession of property, or the securing or extending a right to retain that to which another is entitled.””
