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 57 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'. . . [I]t is well recognized that the granting of a mistrial is within the sound discretion of the trial court, for he, being present, is in a much better position to determine what effect, if any, some occurrence may have upon the jury's ability to decide the defendant's fate fairly and justly. And we will not interfere with the trial judge unless there had been a clear abuse of discretion. . . .'”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“"The several exceptions to the warrant requirements are ably stated in the opinion of Mr. Justice Bloodworth in Daniels v. State , 290 Ala. 316 , 276 So.2d 441 . It is clear here that the officers knew that a homicide had taken place upon arrival at the scene and seeing the door open and Officer Dawson's daughter sitting in the doorway crying in a very upset condition clearly gave rise to the necessary probable cause to enter the premises and determine what had occurred. "Clearly the authorities which are construed under the provisions of Title 15, 154, Code of Alabama 1940, permit an officer to make an investigation where, as here, he has been notified of the commission of a felony and enters the scene unaccompanied by a warrant. Many of these were reviewed by Mr. Justice Lawson in Duncan v. State , 278 Ala. 145 , 176 So.2d 840 . Recently, this Court has also determined, as here, that probable cause existed and we do so determine now. Bridges (and Rogers) v. State , 52 Ala. App. 546 , 295 So.2d 266 ; Burrow v. State , 55 Ala. App. 24 , 312 So.2d 596 . The search of the apartment where the homicide took place was in all respects proper."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“As may be seen from reviewing the above cross-examination, the defense counsel did not object until after the question was answered. Clearly, his objection came too late. Barnett v. State , 52 Ala. App. 260 , 291 So.2d 353 , and authorities therein cited. Moreover the appellant did not moved to exclude or invoke a further ruling from the trial court, hence such answer is not properly before us for review. Veith v. State , 48 Ala. App. 688 , 267 So.2d 480 .”
