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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[2] The question as to whether a witness has by study, practice, experience or observation as to a particular subject, acquired knowledge beyond that of the ordinary witness, so as to qualify him to testify as an expert, is largely within the discretion of the trial judge, whose ruling thereon will not be disturbed on appeal unless a clear abuse of such discretion is shown. Alexander v. State, 37 Ala.App. 533 , 71 So.2d 520 ; Willingham v. State, 261 Ala. 454 , 74 So.2d 241 ; King v. State, 266 Ala. 232 , 95 So.2d 816 ; Fiorella v. State, 41 Ala.App. 3 , 142 So.2d 885 . We find no abuse of discretion here.” * * *”
