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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The statute provides that a person cannot be convicted for a felony on the uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice. Title 15, Sec. 307, Code 1940.” “Of course, before this doctrine has application, it must appear that the witness in question was an accomplice. The mere fact that Baker was indicted for the same offense did not make him an accomplice per se. More v. State, 15 Ala.App. 152 , 72 So. 596 ; Dukes v. State, 33 Ala.App. 474 , 34 So.2d 707 .””
