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.
“' When a witness denies that he has been convicted of the crime, it becomes incumbent upon the impeaching party to prove the conviction. This can be done by introducing the original court record of the conviction or a certified or sworn copy. The prior conviction cannot be proven by the offering of oral testimony by the impeaching party. See Headley v. State , 51 Ala. App. 148 , 283 So.2d 458 (1973).' "We are of the opinion that Gregath , although it was a civil case, correctly states the law of this jurisdiction. . . .”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage““[A]n owner of real property may testify to the value of such property without other qualifications. This rule is premised on the basis that the fact of ownership renders the owner competent to testify to such value. See State v. Hastie, Ala., 333 So.2d 795 (1976). [A condemnation ease.] “... [T]his general rule does not extend the ability of the witness to testify as to the value of another person’s property absent a showing of expert qualifications.””
