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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(a) A person who knowingly or intentionally kills another human being while acting under sudden heat commits voluntary manslaughter. (Emphasis added.) Indiana Code § 35-41-2-2 (Burns 1979 Repl.) states that: “(b) A person engages in conduct ‘knowingly’ if, when he engages in the conduct, he is aware of a high probability that he is doing so.””
