How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • observing that conduct, however, reprehensible, is not a crime unless the General Assembly has exercised its authority to define it as such
  • reviewing whether Indiana’s statutory definition of “dependent” included unborn children, such that Herron’s ingestion of cocaine during pregnancy Could constitute “neglect of a dependent”
  • “[I]t is just as important to recognize what a statute does not say as it is to recognize what it does say. A court may not read into a statute that which is not the expressed intent of the legislature.”
  • relied on in Patel, 60 N.E.3d at 1053
