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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This appellant has been convicted of the crime of incest growing out of his alleged sexual relations with his young daughter. “The State’s case must rest upon the testimony of the daughter because of the lack of any corroborating support for her testimony. “If the girl was under the age of consent at the time of the offense, (sixteen years of age), no corroboration of her testimony is necessary. Brown v. State, 21 Ala.App. 371 , 108 So. 625 ; Duncan v. State, 20 Ala.App. 209 , 101 So. 472 .””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"Counsel for appellant contends that the evidence shows that if the girl's testimony be accepted it shows that the alleged illicit relationship continued for some four months after she had become sixteen years of age, and therefore corroboration of her testimony is essential. Such principle may be inferred from dictum in Brown v. State, supra. We do not consider this dictum sound.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"The testimony by the girl tends abundantly to establish that her father carnally knew her on repeated occasions from the time she was thirteen years of age. These offenses were well within the statutory limit as to time, and also during the period when she was under the age of consent, and when no corroboration of her testimony is required."”
