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.
“Conviction of a non-existent crime is fundamental error, Young v. State (1967) 249 Ind. 286 , 281 N.B.2d 797, which error, if apparent on the face of the record, cannot be ignored by the reviewing court.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Gee v. State · Anderson v. State“"If kidnapping is not encompassed within the armed felony statute ... then no such offense of 'armed kidnapping' exists. That being so the conviction for 'armed kidnapping' is a nullity. Convic tion of a non-existent crime is fundamental error ... which is apparent on the face of the record and cannot be ignored by the reviewing court... We have no choice but to vacate appellant's conviction. In doing so we are not unmindful that appellant does not desire this relief, but correction of fundamental error is not intended for the advantage of the accused."”
