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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Before there can be a conviction there must be evidence sufficient to convince the jury, beyond a reasonable doubt, of every material ingredient of the offense charged. Included in the ingredients of this offense is a guilty scienter, which may be inferred by the jury from the facts and circumstances surrounding the entire transaction. Vacalis v. State, 204 Ala. 345 , 86 So. 92 .””
