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 person engages in conduct "intentionally" if, when he engages in the conduct, it is his conscious objective to do so. If a person is charged with intentionally causing a result by his conduct, it must have been his conscious objective not only to engage in the conduct, but to cause the result.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The only difference in the two instructions is the language in Corley’s tendered instruction regarding “causing a result.” He argues that it was error not to include this language in the instruction because the jury was not advised that he must have a conscious objective to cause [the victim’s] death. However, Corley cites to no authority for this proposition and we do not find any. Ind.Code § 35-41-2-2 (1993) which defines intentionally, knowingly and recklessly does not include the additional language found in Corley’s instruction. Thus the tendered instruction is not a correct statement of the law. It was not error for the court to refuse the tendered instruction.”
