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.
“"We do not agree with [the appellant's] contention. The trial judge in this instance was instructing the jury that a reasonable doubt may arise from the evidence presented by the State and also any evidence presented by the defendant. Reading this statement in this context, we do not find that it constitutes a comment on the appellant's failure to testify. See Davis v. State , 352 So.2d 3 (Ala.Cr.App.), cert. denied, 352 So.2d 8 (Ala. 1977). Furthermore, the trial judge instructed the jury that they should not draw any inference due to the fact that the appellant did not testify." Id.”
