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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Here, however, the testimony concerning the informer merely revealed that the surveillance of the premises was undertaken by reason of an informer’s tip. It in no way related to any matter in issue. It did not in any manner bolster the prosecution’s case. The assistance of the informer merely served to alert the witness [a police officer] to a possible crime yet to be perpetrated. The crime was then committed in the presence of the witness. Knowledge of the identity of the informer could serve no purpose useful to the defendant’s defense, and the disclosure to the jury of the reason the victimized pharmaceutical house was under surveillance had no bearing upon any issue. The testimony implicating the defendant would have been the same, had it been mere chance that the police witnessed the defendant’s participation in the crime. The Glover rule, therefore, simply has no application.” (Emphasis supplied.) 257 Ind. at 138-39 , 272 N.E.2d at 616 .”
