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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

““A petitioner in a coram nobis proceeding has the duty to establish his right to relief by ‘clear, full and satisfactory proof.’ Vincent v. State, 284 Ala. 242 , 224 So.2d 601 (1969). The degree of persuasion — clear, full and satisfactory — entails more than that enunciated in the scintilla rule. ‘Clear’ is highly exacting as to proof of facts and always means more than ‘reasonably satisfying.’ Burden v. State, 52 Ala.App. 348 , 292 So.2d 463 (1974).” Lewis v. State, Ala.Cr.App., 367 So.2d 542, 545 (1979).”

e.g. Holman v. State
“"The fact that appellant could not remember the last name of a potential witness was not the fault of the prosecution nor of appellant's attorney. When appellant did remember the name of witness DeBardeleben, this was not newly discovered evidence, but rather newly disclosed evidence. A petition for writ of error coram nobis is not intended to relieve a party of his own negligence. Thornburg v. State , 42 Ala. App. 70 , 152 So.2d 442 (1963)." (Emphasis in original.)”

“"(E)ven though it can be definitely shown that an attorney has made a mistake in the trial of a case that results in a judgment unfavorable to his client, this alone is not sufficient to demonstrate that his client has been deprived of this constitutional right to adequate and effective representation by counsel. . . ."”
