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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is next insisted that the court erred to the injury of the appellant in ‘not putting the state upon a showing as to what defendant expected to prove by the absent witnesses English and Cuthbert.’ It is true that, although the matter of continuance is, as a general rule, within the discretion of the trial court, and will not be reviewed, yet the courts will not allow this rule to operate to the extent of depriving a defendant of the benefits of the constitutional guaranty ‘to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor.’ Walker v. State, 117 Ala. 85, 88 , 23 So. 670 ; Hill v. State, 72 Miss. 527 , 17 So. 375 .””
