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.
““It is insisted that the indictment is defective, for uncertainty in description, and for duplicity. The indictment is sufficiently certain, as to matter of description, under the provisions of the Code; and the objection of duplicity is not sustainable ... We are of opinion that the words 'infant child, name to the grand jury unknown,’ is a sufficient description in an indictment of a human being upon whom the offense of murder may be committed.” [Emphasis supplied.] 40 Ala. at 354-355 .”
