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

“"When a jury requests additional instructions the recommended practice is for the trial court to remain within the area of the specific request in making his response. East v. State , 339 So.2d 1104 , 1106-07 (Ala.Cr.App. 1976). A trial judge is not required to repeat any other part of his oral charge when answering a specific inquiry from the jury. White v. State , 195 Ala. 681 , 686 , 71 So. 452 (1916); Thomas v. State , 393 So.2d 504 , 508 (Ala.Cr.App. 1981)."”
12 later decisions quote this exact passage

“"The holding in Witherspoon is not applicable where the jury recommends a sentence less than the death sentence. Bumper v. State of North Carolina , 391 U.S. 543 , 88 S.Ct. 1788 , 20 L.Ed.2d 797 [(1968)]. By its express terms, Witherspoon is limited to those cases where the death sentence is imposed by a jury from which some have been removed because they opposed capital punishment." See also Clark v. State , 451 So.2d 368 (Ala.Crim.App. 1984).”
