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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The jury was not instructed that it could find the defendant guilty of the lesser included offense of manslaughter, notwithstanding three tendered instructions in this regard. They were refused by the court, because the statute of limitations precluded a prosecution for manslaughter. Ind. Code § 35-1-3-4 (Burns 1975). We find no Indiana case discussing the propriety of instructing a jury upon a lesser included offense for which the statute of limitations had run. The weight of authority from other jurisdictions is that if the defendant could not be convicted of the lesser included offense, the instructions upon such offense are properly refused. Chaifetz v. United States, (1960) 109 U. S. App. D.C. 349, 288 F.2d 133 , reversed on other grounds, (1961) 366 U.S. 209 , 81 S.Ct. 1051 , 6 L.Ed.2d 233 ; People v. Lohnes, (1973) 76 Misc.2d 507 , 351 N.Y.S.2d 279 ; Annotation 47 A.L.R.2d 887 (1956).” Gurley v. State, (1976) 264 Ind. 552 , 348 N.E.2d 16 at 20-21 .”
