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

  1. “"In a criminal prosecution the accused has a constitutional right to a trial `[in] the county or district in which the offense was committed.' U.S. Const. Amendment VI ; Ala. Const. [of 1901,] Art. I, § 6, [ Williams v. State , 383 So.2d 547 (Ala.Cr.App. 1979), aff'd, 383 So.2d 564 (Ala. 1980)]. Proof of venue is necessary to sustain a conviction, Grace v. State , 369 So.2d 318 (Ala.Cr.App. 1979), and `must be properly laid to give jurisdiction.' Barlow v. Garrow , Minor 1 (Ala. 1820). Unless otherwise provided by law, venue of all public offenses is in the county in which the offense was committed. Stokes v. State , 373 So.2d 1211 (Ala.Cr.App.), cert. denied, 373 So.2d 1218 (Ala. 1979). The burden of establishing venue is on the State. Willcutt v. State , 284 Ala. 547 , 226 So.2d 328 (1969)."”
