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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is true that the trial court is required to make findings of facts sufficient to enable this Court to dispose of the issues presented on appeal. Davis v. State (1975), [263] Ind. [327], 330 N.E.2d 738 ; Love v. State (1971), 257 Ind. 57 , 272 N.E.2d 456 . It is also true that the judge’s finding of fact on this issue was subject to the same criticism as were the findings in Davis, supra. However, as in Davis , there is another factor which precludes a determination of reversible error — the allegations contained in the second paragraph quoted above are not supported by any testimony produced at the hearing. Thus, no issue was presented to- the court, and the only finding that could have been forthcoming was that the petitioner failed to carry his burden upon that specific issue. Such a finding would not have benefited the petitioner, and its absence was not prejudicial. 338 N.E.2d at 259-260 . (Emphasis supplied.)”
