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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a] proper verification requires that the person executing it affirm under the penalties for perjury, or state upon oath, before an official authorized to administer oaths, that the representations within the body of the petition are true ... An examination of the petition ... does not show that the person executing [it] has sworn that the representations contained therein were true.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. French v. State · Jaske v. State“"The verification requirement serves to foreclose the bringing of frivolous petitions by imposing the penalties of perjury on the petitioner. If the appellant had objected at an early opportunity, the court indeed would have had to reject the petitions as insufficient and it could have afforded the probation department an opportunity to submit verified petitions. As it was, the case proceeded to the hearing on waiver to the criminal court during which sworn testimony of the alleged victims of the three alleged robberies was taken. This sworn testimony effectively served the purpose of assuring that the petition was not frivolous." Hendricks, 426 N.E.2d at 370 .”
