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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The intent of the rule [A.R. 7.2(C) ] is to provide a method whereby the parties or the appellate court may correct mistakes or omissions in the record following the certification of the record. We do not believe the intent of the rule is to shift, from appellant to the appellate court, the duty to provide an adequate record for review. The rule is not meant to permit an appellant to raise an issue in his brief and then leave it to the appellate court to order up the necessary record to review the issue.... The use of Ind.R.App.P. 7.2(C) is to be limited to those cireum-stances it was intended to cure. It is not to be used as a substitute for the duties clearly placed on an appellant by the other portions of Ind.R.App.P. 7.2.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"lilf, on appeal, any difference arises as to whether the record truly discloses what occurred in the trial court, the difference shall be submitted to and settled by the trial court and the record made to conform to the truth. If anything material to either party is omitted from the record or is misstated therein, the trial court shall (1) Either before or after the record is transmitted to the court on appeal, or (2) Upon the order of the court of appeal pursuant [to] the motion of a party or on its own initiative correct the omission or misstatement and if necessary certify and transmit a supplemental record. Incompleteness or inadequacy of the record shall not constitute a ground for dismissal of the appeal or preclude review on the merits."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“You are instructed that in doing your duty as a juror you may call upon all of your experiences in life in determining the evidence. There is nothing mysterious or fanciful about the criminal justice system in this country and it is presumed that you, the jury, will not check your common sense at the Courtroom door but will use such common sense in determining the guilt or innocence of the Defendant herein. You are further instructed that in determining the criminal responsibility of the Defendant, if any, that you are the moral conscience of our society and must take into account all of the facts and circumstances in this case in order to determine the Defendant’s guilt or innocence.”
