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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'In a larceny prosecution the ownership of the alleged stolen property is properly laid in the person who is in the right possession thereof at the time of the theft.' Gandy v. State , 35 Ala. App. 299 , 46 So.2d 247 (1950). It therefore follows that the same logic applies in present day 'theft of property' cases.”
