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.
“'Deviate sexual intercourse' is defined by § 13A-6-60 (2), Code of Alabama 1975 as 'Any act of sexual gratification between persons not married to each other, involving the sex organs of one person and the mouth or anus of another.' Penetration is not an element of sodomy under this law. Cases such as Tarrant v. State , 12 Ala. App. 172 , 67 So. 626 (1915), refer to an earlier statute which did require penetration.”
