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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]t is an established rule that a jury verdict cannot be set aside merely because the jury could have drawn different conclusions from conflicting evidence. As this Court stated in Harris v. Meadows, 477 So.2d 374 (Ala.1985): "`A jury verdict is presumed correct and will not be set aside unless it is without supporting evidence or is so contrary to the evidence as to render it wrong and unjust. Where the jury verdict is not plainly erroneous, we cannot consider other possible conclusions that might have been reached.'”
