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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"`In deciding this case, we are not unmindful of the rule that evidence of value is necessarily opinion evidence, and that it is not conclusive on courts and juries, even when without conflict. Dean v. County Board of Education , 210 Ala. 256 , 97 So. 741 ; State v. Hunter , 270 Ala. 57 , 116 So.2d 383 . In this connection, however, there is also the rule that there is no "absolute" or "unrestricted" right in the *Page 904 trier of facts to disregard evidence of witnesses declared competent by the statute, § 367, Title 7, whether expert or not. Such evidence is not conclusive, as of course, but is to be considered like other evidence in connection with all the facts and circumstances and in the light of the knowledge and experience of the jury in finding the true value. O'Neill v. City of Birmingham , 221 Ala. 580 , 130 So. 87 .'" 341 So.2d at 148 .”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“"We have noted that the jury did not view the land. We are not to be understood as holding that the verdict would stand if the jury had viewed the land. That question is not presented. In this connection see: State v. Carter, 267 Ala. 347, 350 , 101 So.2d 550 ; State v. Long, 269 Ala. 270, 271 , 112 So.2d 480 ."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““In the case at bar, we do not think the verdict for $1,900.00 can be justified when the only evidence is that the damages amounted to $600.00 and $1,250.00. Under those circumstances, the jury, in allowing $1,900.00 must have proceeded upon some erroneous theory.””
