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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"It is axiomatic that a witness may be impeached by showing prior statements which are at variance with those deposed at the trial of the cause. The adopted procedure is to lay a predicate to the witness and, if the prior contradictory statement is denied, proof may be made that the witness did make the previous assertion." Jackson v. State , 35 Ala. App. 542 , 50 So.2d 282 (1951) citing Bridges v. State , 225 Ala. 81 , 142 So. 56 (1932) and People's Shoe Co. v. Skally , 196 Ala. 349 , 71 So. 719 (1916).”
