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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A trial judge may refuse to charge on the lesser included offense when it is clear to the judicial mind that there is no evidence to support the jury's being charged on the lesser included offense.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““In the case of Brazell v. State, 423 So.2d 323 (Ala.Cr.App.1982), this court held: ‘We do not approve of the practice of instructing the jury on punishment where the fixing of punishment is the responsibility and duty of the trial judge.’ However, where the judge also instructs the jury that the duty rests with him in the imposition of the sentence, the instructions regarding the punishment will be treated as extraneous instruction, resulting in harmless error. Id. Rule 45, A.R.A.P.””
