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

  1. “"Intoxication alone, however, is not prohibited by § 13A-11-10, Code of Alabama 1975. Our public intoxication statute is taken, almost verbatim, from the Model Penal Code provision. The commentary to the corresponding model code provision states that `It is not the state of incapacitation per se that is condemned, but only its public manifestation in ways that may endanger the actor or inconvenience others. It follows that where the prospect of neither harm exists, there is no liability under Section 250.5' Model Penal Code and Commentaries § 250.5 at 376 (A.L.I. 1980)."”
