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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"`In order for this court to intelligently pass upon the question, enough of the remarks of the solicitor must be incorporated in the record to inform the court as to what was really said, and not mere[ly] disjointed sentences of the solicitor's speech.' Gray v. State , 19 Ala. App. 550 , 98 So. 818 , 819 ; Pate v. State , 32 Ala. App. 365 , 26 So.2d 214 ."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““It is not every reference to a defendant as a negro, when he is a negro, that would be improper, though the charge was for an attack on a white man.- It should appear that it was so made as to emphasize the difference in races, and thereby to appeal to race prejudice.””
