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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““True, a copy of the petition for writ of certiorari and a copy of the brief in support thereof were served upon Hon. Blanchard McCloud, Solicitor of the 4th Judicial Circuit of Alabama, but he is. not the attorney who represents the State in the Appellate Courts. This duty devolves upon the Attorney General. The pertinent statute provides that the Attorney General “ ‘ * * * must attend, on the part of the state, to all criminal cases pending in the supreme court or the court of appeals, and to all civil suits in which the state is a party in the same courts. * * ’ § 228, Tit. 55, Code of 1940.””
