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 85 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * There is, of course, no pretense of any order of the court in that respect. Clearly any such order would be erroneous as it is the duty of the court to hear all the excuses and himself pass upon the same. Title 30, § 38, Code of 1940; O’Rear v. State, 188 Ala. 71 , 66 So. 81 . No such responsibility could, of course, be shifted to the shoulders of the counsel for the defense. * * * ” Taylor v. State, 249 Ala. 130, 136 , 30 So.2d 256, 260 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““ * * * True, there seemed to have been no formal offering of these articles in evidence, but after they were exhibited before the jury and commented upon, to all intent and purposes they are considered as evidence in the cause. Kabase v. State, 31 Ala.App. 77 , 12 So.2d 758 ; Kabase v. State, 244 Ala. 182 , 12 So.2d 766 .””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“An acquiescence obtained by duress, or fear of personal violence, will avail nothing, the law regarding such submission as no consent at all. If the mind of the woman is overpowered by a display of physical force, through threats, expressed or implied, or otherwise, or she ceases resistance through fear of great harm, the consummation of unlawful intercourse by the man would be rape. 1 Whart. Cr. Law, § 557; 2 Bishop Cr. Law, (7th Ed.), § 1125; 3 Greenl.Ev., (14th Ed.), § 211.”
