5 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Stevens v. State · Butler v. State“'A witness may testify to his opinion if it is a collective fact or a shorthand rendition of fact. This variety is most commonly referred to as the collective fact exception and arises when the facts observed by the witness are so many or so inexpressible that he is allowed to give the jury his opinion. His opinion is conceived of as being a shorthand way of giving the facts and, consequently does not constitute a violation of the opinion evidence rule.' C. Gamble, McElroy's Alabama Evidence , Section 127.01(3) Variety No. 7 (3rd ed. 1977).”
