The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““As observed in Pilley v. State, 247 Ala. 523 , 25 So.2d 57 , our more recent decisions disapprove an argument of the character above outlined. But the opinion in the Pilley case also suffices to show that any evil effects, if any, in the instant case, were eradicated by the withdrawal of the remark and the instruction of the court to the jury as above outlined.””
