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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"... Larceny is the felonious taking and carrying away of personal property of another with the intent on the part of the taker to convert it to his own use, or to deprive the owner thereof. The offense involves a trespass on the possession of another. Ludlum v. State, 13 Ala.App. 278 , 69 So. 255 ; McKinney v. State, 12 Ala.App. 155 , 68 So. 518 ; Kramer v. State, 16 Ala.App. 456 , 78 So. 719 ; Weldon v. State, 17 Ala.App. 68 , 81 So. 846 . "If a person acquires the possession of personal property tortiously, and thereafter forms the intent and executes the purpose to convert it, he may be guilty of larceny.””
