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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “"[U]nder the quoted subsection of the Code [virtually identical to Ala. Code 1975, § 13A-2-24 (2)], the purchaser in this case was not an accomplice, because his conduct was 'inevitably incident' to the commission of the offense charged. That is, there cannot be an unlawful sale of a controlled substance unless someone buys it. It is immaterial that this purchaser may have solicited the sale, because, except for entrapment (which is not involved here, as the buyer was not a police officer), it makes no difference whether the buyer solicited the sale or the seller solicited the purchase. The offense is committed in either situation."”

  2. “We consider the prosecutor’s statement to have been decidedly improper and manifestly prejudicial. . . . We have frequently found it necessary to award a new trial because of counsel’s overzealousness in arguing to the jury matters of fact not supported by the proof.”
