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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Evidence is generally admissible if it has a tendency to prove or disprove a material fact. Minton v. State, (1978) [269] Ind. [39], 378 N.E.2d 639 . ‘Positive proof or positive identification of evidence has not been required prior to its admission.’ Elliott v. State, (1972) 258 Ind. 92 , 279 N.E.2d 207 . That the connection with the crime is inconclusive affects the weight of the evidence but does not render it inadmissible. Carman v. State, (1979) Ind., 396 N.E.2d 344 .””
