Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

Sec. 5. Except as provided in IC 12-15-23-6(d), the prosecuting attorneys, within their respective jurisdictions, shall:

(1) conduct all prosecutions for felonies, misdemeanors, or infractions and all suits on forfeited recognizances;

(2) superintend, on behalf of counties or any of the trust funds, all suits in which the counties or trust funds may be interested or involved; and

(3) perform all other duties required by law.
