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

1. “"After the jury ha[s] retired for deliberation, if there is a disagreement between them as to any part of the testimony, or if they desire to be informed as to any point of law arising in the case, they may request the officer to conduct them into court, where the information required shall be given in the presence of, or after notice to, the parties or their attorneys.””

2. “In Jones v. State (1995) Ind.App., 656 N.E.2d 303, 307 , trans. denied, this court stated: “Jury requests to review exhibits are not within the scope of I.C. 34-1-21-6.” The discussion following the statement clarified our meaning that the statute did not apply in that case because the jury request did not indicate that there was any disagreement among the jurors as to the testimony relating to the note. While our intent was otherwise, we acknowledge that the above-quoted statement may be interpreted as authority for the proposition that requests to review exhibits are never within the scope of the statute. We note that such would, of course, be an incorrect statement of the law.”

3. “We agree [with this court’s opinion in State v. Winters, 678 N.E.2d 405 (Ind.Ct.App.1997),] that, when a jury requests that it be given the opportunity to rehear testimony or see exhibits for a second time, the jury is expressing disagreement or confusion about that evidence, sufficient to trigger application of I.C. 34-1-21-6, unless the circumstances surrounding the request indicate otherwise.”
