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

2. “[a] person who knowingly or intentionally takes property from another person or from the presence of another person ... by using or threatening the use of force on any person ... commits robbery, a Level 5 felony. However, the offense is ... a Level 2 felony if it results in serious bodily injury to any person other than a defendant.”

3. “The defendant argues that, while there was evidence that the victim suffered fractured bones, there was no evidence that these injuries resulted from her being forcefully removed from one place to another and that, for this reason, there was insufficient evidence to prove the serious bodily injury element of criminal confinement as a Class B felony. The State argues that "the jury should have inferred that Foddrill's injuries to her nose and eye socket were caused during her movement from one place to another ...," but does not identify any evidence tending to prove this asserting. We find that the evidence was insufficient to establish that the conduct constituting the charged offense of criminal confinement resulted in serious bodily injury, as required to constitute a[Cllass B felony.”
