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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[the definition of an "included offense' contained in I.C. 35-41-1-2 comprises a complete sentence and consists of an introductory phrase and three subdivisions. An 'or' follows the penultimate item. The Drafting Manual for the Indiana General Assembly [Drafting Manual] (1976), states this to be the preferred structure for Indiana statutes. An 'or' is used to designate when a series is to be read in the disjunctive. The word 'disjunctive' is defined as, 'Designating a conjunction ... which denotes an alternative, contrast, or opposition between the ideas it connects.' Reference to other definitions set forth in I.C. 35-41-1-2 (compare 'Governmental entity' and Law-enforcement officer',) in light of the drafting guidelines contained in the Drafting Manual and the use by the legislature of the disjunctive conjunction 'or', conclusively establishes that the three subdivisions present alternative UEL definitions for an "included offense'.”
