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.
“On the question of the voluntariness of a confession, the burden is not on the trial court to withdraw the jury ex mero motu , hear evidence on the question of the voluntariness of a confession outside the jury's presence, and expressly rule.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“(E)xpert witnesses, even physicians, cannot testify to the opinions of others in giving their opinions.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"It is settled in Alabama that admissions relating directly to the facts or circumstances of the alleged crime and connecting the defendant therewith are inculpatory admissions in the nature of a confession and subject to the same rules as direct confessions. Reeves v. State, 260 Ala. 66, 73 , 68 So.2d 14 (1953); Campbell v. State, 341 So.2d 735, 740 (Ala.Cr.App.), affirmed, 341 So.2d 742 (Ala.1976); Kendrick v. State, 55 Ala.App. 11 , 312 So.2d 583 (1975). Admissions as to purely collateral matters, which are not confessory of guilt in any respect, are not within the scope of this rule, and the predicate as for a confession need not be laid. Tillison v. State, 248 Ala. 199 , 27 So.2d 43 (1946); Herring v. State, 242 Ala. 85 , 5 So.2d 104 (1942); Twymon v. State, 358 So.2d 1072 (Ala.Cr.App.1978); Campbell v. State, 341 So.2d at 740; C. Gamble, McElroy's Alabama Evidence § 200.02(4)(e) (3rd ed. 1977)."”
