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 51 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Notwithstanding subsection (a), the burden of proof is on the defendant to establish the defense of insanity (IC 85-41-8-6) by a preponderance of the evidence."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Gentry v. State · Ward v. State““Although early Indiana cases hold that sanity is an element of a crime which requires a specific intent, the foundation of these cases is not based upon constitutional considerations. See Noelke v. State (1938), 214 Ind. 427 , 15 N.E.2d 950 ; Fritz v. State (1912), 178 Ind. 463 , 99 N.E. 727 ; Stevens v. State (1869), 31 Ind. 485 . The Legislature has examined this state of the law and has seen fit to change the law. We must follow the legislative policy unless that policy is found to be unconstitutional.” (Price, 274 Ind. at 482-83 , 412 N.E.2d at 785 .)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““ ‘The essential elements of the charge of felony murder do not include proof of sanity. If that were the case, the Government would be required to produce evidence establishing sanity beyond a reasonable doubt as part of its direct case, before the defendant introduced an iota of testimony, and that is not and never has been the law.’ ” (Price, 274 Ind. at 482 , 412 N.E.2d at 785 , quoting United States v. Greene (1973), 489 F.2d 1145, 1155 , cert. denied (1974), 419 U.S. 977 , 42 L. Ed. 2d 190 , 95 S. Ct. 239 .)”
