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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"While these charges fail to define the offense and are not based on a consideration of the evidence, nevertheless stare decisis compels us to consider them as correct in form. Judge Carr quoted the Duncan charge illustratively in Carter v. State , 31 Ala. App. 526 , 19 So.2d 361 . The formula, `a charge of assault with intent to murder includes a charge of assault and battery,' was approved in Stovall v. State , 34 Ala. App. 610 , 612 , 42 So.2d 636 . See Kelly v. State , 235 Ala. 5 , 176 So. 807 ."”
