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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The argument is made that defendant’s conviction violates the rule requiring corroboration of a defendant’s confession or incriminating statement by evidence of the corpus delicti. The argument is based on an erroneous assumption that proof of the corpus delicti must include evidence of defendant’s guilty connection with the alleged crime. In Arnold v. State, 57 Ala.App. 172 , 326 So.2d 700, 701 (1976) it was held: “ ‘Proof of the corpus delicti does not necessarily include evidence connecting defendant with the crime. The term, meaning body of the offense, connotes the actual commission of the crime by someone.’ ””
