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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The defendant's objections were sustained in all except one of the occasions cited. These occurrences were not overwhelming in number. They did not evidence a `persistence' on the part of the prosecution to present illegal facts prejudicial to the defendant, nor did they indicate a general course of prejudicial appeal to the jury. In our judgment, they did not give the appearance of argument so grossly improper and highly prejudicial that it was ineradicable by proper ruling of the trial court. . . . The motions for mistrial were therefore properly overruled."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"The voice identification of the appellant by the victim in no way infringed upon the appellant's constitutional rights. Evidence of the appellant's voice is not `testimonial or communicative in nature.' Wilson v. State , 57 Ala. App. 125 , 326 So.2d 316 . As the court stated in Wilson: "`A person's voice is a "physical characteristic," subject to be compelled to disclose to identifying witnesses.'" Donahoo v. State , Ala.Cr.App., 371 So.2d 68 , cert. denied, 371 So.2d 73 (Ala. 1979).”
