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.
“Even assuming that the State violated the order separating witnesses, we cannot say that the violation placed Ray in grave peril. Prejudice is presumed when a violation of a separation of witnesses order occurs, but the presumption can be overcome if the non movant can show that there was no prejudice. Stafford v. State , 736 N.E.2d 326 , 331 (Ind. Ct. App. 2000) (relying on Hernandez v. State , 716 N.E.2d 948 , 955 (Ind. 1999) (Boehm, J., dissenting), reh'g denied ), reh'g denied , trans. denied . Here, Ray's counsel cross-examined Dr. Burrows. Further, Ray's counsel questioned Dr. Burrows on how she learned that Blake had received a sternum rub. Thus, Ray was not placed in grave peril because the jury was informed of the conversation between Dr. Burrows and the prosecutor and was given adequate information to judge the credibility of Dr. Burrows. See, e.g. , Hightower v. State , 260 Ind. 481 , 486, 296 N.E.2d 654 , 657 (Ind. 1973) (holding that a violation of a witness separation order did not warrant reversal because "[t]he jury was completely informed of the conversation between the witnesses ... and was given adequate information by which it could judge the reliability and credibility of the revised testimony"), cert. denied , 415 U.S. 916 , 94 S.Ct. 1412 , 39 L.Ed.2d 470 (1974). Moreover, the chest bruise was a relatively minor part of the evidence presented.”
