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.

“The knowing use of perjured testimony is fundamentally unfair and a conviction obtained by the use of such testimony will not be upheld. Sypniewski v. State, 272 Ind. 657 , 400 N.E.2d 1122 (1980); Richard v. State, 269 Ind. 607 , 382 N.E.2d 899 (1978). A conviction obtained through the use of false testimony must fall where the State, knowing the testimony to be false, either solicits such testimony or allows it to go uncorrected when it appears. Napue v. Illinois, 360 U.S. 264 [ 79 S.Ct. 1173 , 3 L.Ed.2d 1217 ] (1959); Sparks v. State, 271 Ind. 419 , 393 N.E.2d 151 (1979).”
