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

    e.g. Kien v. State · Cox v. State
  3. “1. Pursuant to LC. 35-388-1-7.1(b)@8), the Court finds that [Flammer] is in need of correctional or rehabilitative treatment that can best be provided by the commitment of [Flammer] to a penal facility. The Court makes this determination because [Flam-mer] has committed a violent and senseless criminal act that has resulted in the death of his wife. The Court finds that [Flammer] should be separated from our citizens for their protection. 2. Pursuant to .C. 35-88-1-7.1(d), the Court finds as an additional aggravating factor the severe emotional trauma that [Flammer] has caused to his six children by killing their mother and then forcing the children to cooperate in the hiding of the victim's body, in destroying evidence, in assisting [Flammer] in abandoning the victim's vehicle, and in intimidating the children into lying to police authorities. The Court determines that the children of [Flammer] will always have psychological sears from these events and that the children's emotional problems have been caused by the actions of [Flammer].”
