The prosecution's opening statement to the jury on what it expects to prove should be confined to statements based on facts admissible in evidence. Higdon v. State , 25 Ala. App. 209 , 143 So. 213 (1932). Counsel, however, is to be allowed considerable latitude in presenting to the jury in his opening statement what he expects the evidence to show. Rogers v. State , 49 Ala. App. 78 , 268 So.2d 859 (1972) . . .' White v. State , 294 Ala. 265 , 314 So.2d 857 , 861-2 (1975), cert. denied, White v.
