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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Defendant objected to the following statement of the solicitor during argument: T never did ask you to convict a man I believe to be innocent.’ The court overruled the objection. Counsel excepted and moved for a mistrial. We think the statement was a mere expression of opinion by the solicitor that the defendant was guilty, and was not a cause for reversal under the following authorities: Griggs v. State, 21 Ala.App. 530 , 109 So. 611 ; Bruce v. State, 22 Ala.App. 440 , 116 So. 511 ; Tucker v. State, 28 Ala.0App. 492, 188 So. 276 .””
