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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We are also impressed by the fact that the prosecutor, the victim of the alleged theft who signed the affidavit instituting the proceeding in the juvenile court, did not ‘file a motion requesting the court to transfer the child for criminal prosecution’ as required by Section 12-15-34(a). The motion to transfer, as shown by the motion itself, was made by ‘the State of Alabama ... Assistant District Attorney of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of Alabama’ and was signed by said Assistant District Attorney. The transcript indicates that the alleged victim took no part in the hearing of the motion.””
