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 85 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Appellant claims that he was prejudiced because the trial court refused to allow defense counsel to verbally supplement the court’s voir dire. Counsel does not suggest what his verbal supplement could have produced that could not have been achieved through the written questions which the trial judge permitted both sides to submit as a supplemental to the court’s conduct of the voir dire. Rule T.R. 47(A) provides simply that in the event the court conducts the voir dire ‘the court shall permit the .parties or their attorneys to supplement the examination by further inquiry.’ This passage cannot be read to require a particular form; such as, verbal questioning. A trial judge has wide discretion in arranging and conducting a proper voir dire. Robinson v. State, (1973) [ 260] Ind. [ 517], 297 N.E.2d 409 . Rather than abusing that discretion, the trial judge in this case was seeking to avoid the practice, condemned by this court in Robinson, supra, of lawyers trying their cases on voir dire. The trial judge properly assumed an active role in the voir dire proceedings and exercised this broad discretionary power to restrict interrogation to proper matters by regulating the form as well as the substance of the interrogation.” White v. State, supra, at 86-87.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Tewell v. State““Suffice it to say that the legislature may abolish all paroles. If it may do such, it may also make parole more difficult or impossible in certain cases. The terms of parole are a matter of legislative policy. Statutes providing for consecutive sentences and statutes establishing conditions for parole are not ‘vindictive justice’ but represent the legislature’s opinion of the best way to construct a reformative penal code. We are not at liberty to dispute the legislature’s prerogative.””
