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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The controlling rule in such cases is that the mere presence of defendant at a still on premises not his own or under his control will not warrant a conviction for possession of the still. There must be more, such as acts of conduct of defendant in or about the still or other incriminating evidence which indicates an interest in or that he is aiding or abetting in the possession of the still. Hudson v. State, 249 Ala. 372 , 31 So.2d 774 . We look to see if the evidence justified submission to the jury of the issue of defendant’s guilt.””
