These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Carefully analyzing the operation of § 52, supra , as construed by cases such as New York Times v. Sullivan , 273 Ala. 656 , 144 So.2d 25 , and Aaron v. State , 273 Ala. 337 , 139 So.2d 309 , we consider that our Supreme Court has avulsed the mandatory `shall have the right' twice used in § 52 into a mere precatory adjuration to the humane instincts of the trial judge. The question of the voir dire examination of would be jurors allowed or disallowed below is not subject to review on appeal. Rose v. Magro , 220 Ala. 120 , 124 So. 296 (hn. 10). (Italics added.)"”
