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.
““ * * * a presumption will be indulged in favor of the action of the trial court when there is a conflict in the evidence. That is, on appeal in such cases, this court will not reverse an order granting a new trial, ‘unless the evidence plainly and palpably supports the verdict,’ * * Reed v. Thompson, 225 Ala. 381, 382 , 143 So. 559 (quoted with approval in State v. Smith (1969), 283 Ala. 454 , 218 So.2d 266 ).”
