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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Territorial jurisdiction is not necessarily thought of as an element of a crime. Nevertheless, the territorial jurisdiction is a fact that must be established. Indiana Statutes do not define jurisdiction as an element of the offense; however, where the law has established the necessity of a certain fact for an existence of that fact is treated much like an element of the offense. In this case then territorial jurisdiction is an element of the offense that must be proved by the state.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Sundling v. State · Ortiz v. State“... the prosecution must prove territorial jurisdiction beyond a reasonable doubt and that state law provides a presumption in favor of territorial jurisdiction where the body is found within state boundaries. The jury, therefore, must be instructed that the presumption exists. See Model Penal Code § 1.12(5)(a). Although the deFendant or the State may have introduced evidence that tends to rebut the presumption, the presumption has not disappeared. Rather the presumption is permissive. Although the jury must find that Fox was murdered in Indiana beyond a reasonable doubt, it may infer territorial jurisdiction if the prosecution has proven Fox's body was found in Indiana.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Thompson v. State“[blecause the prosecution must prove territorial jurisdiction, the issue must be submitted to the jury unless the court determines no reasonable jury could fail to find territorial jurisdiction beyond a reasonable doubt.”
