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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"If the evidence of the state had been confined to the times prior to the time that the girl had reached the age of consent, no corroboration of her testimony would have been necessary. Code 1923, § 5411. Palmer v. State , 165 Ala. 129 , 51 So. 358 . But the cause proceeded upon the theory of incestuous adultery and acts of intercourse were proven after the age of consent. The girl thereby became particeps criminis, and under the statute there must be corroboration to justify a conviction."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““There were several objections by defendant to questions propounded to witnesses, the objections overruled, and exceptions reserved; but when the questions were answered there were no motions to exclude. This was equivalent to a waiver. Taylor v. State, 20 Ala.App. 161 , 101 So. 160 ; Bailum v. State, 17 Ala.App. 679, 88 So. 200 .”
