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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Title 15, Section 335, Code of Alabama 1940, provides as follows: “ ‘In prosecution by indictment, the jury shall fix and determine the amount of the fine; and no judge shall remit or reduce the fine so fixed, unless he spreads his reasons for so doing in full on the minutes of the court.’ “Under this section the trial court had no authority to impose a fine. “If the jury fails to impose or assess a fine, the trial judge is without authority to do so. Carpenter v. State, 50 Ala.App. 543 , 280 So.2d 804 .””
