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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The defendant argues that his sentences should not be served consecutively to his prior eight year term since the trial court’s order does not specifically state they are to be consecutive. However, the record clearly shows that the defendant was free on an appeal bond when the instant crimes were committed and therefore his sentences must not be served concurrently but must be served in accordance with the provisions of Ind.Code § 35-8-7.5-1 (Burns Supp.1977).” Hutcherson v. State, (1978), Ind., 380 N.E.2d 1219, 1223 .”
