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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “"Recently the applicability of the 'thirteenth juror' test to criminal cases was addressed in Moore v. State, (1980) Ind., 403 N.E.2d 335 . The court in Moore held that the 'thirteenth juror' standard applied to the question of whether or not a new trial was justified under Trial Rule 59. The use of the 'thirteenth juror standard' which allows judges to weigh credibility and weigh evidence, cannot be applied in granting a Rule 50 motion for judgment on the evidence. A judgment on the evidence (directed verdict) in a criminal proceeding is proper only where there is a total absence of evidence on some essential issue or where the evidence is without conflict and susceptible to only one inference and that inference is in favor of the defendant." (Citations omitted.) 429 N.E.2d at 1114 .”
