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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Where, as here, the appellant contends that he took no part whatever in the robbery and insists that he was not at the scene of the crime at the time of its commission, and offered testimony to support his alibi, such conflict in the evidence presents a jury question. McColston v. State, 20 Ala.App. 591 , 104 So. 347 . "We are of the opinion that the evidence here is sufficient to sustain a conviction of robbery as against a defense of alibi. McColston v. State, supra; Dorch v. State, 40 Ala.App. 475 , 115 So.2d 287 ." See also Zimmerman v. State, 272 So.2d 914 affirmed January 30, 1973.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage““We are of the opinion under the evidence in this case, the trial court properly refused the above two charges since such evidence if believed would not support a conviction for larceny on the one hand or assault and battery on the other. Kelly v. State, 235 Ala. 5 , 176 So. 807 ; Reeves v. State, 17 Ala.App. 684 , 88 So. 197 ; Segers v. State, 283 Ala. 682 , 220 So.2d 848 . “Where, as here, since, if any offense was committed, it was robbery, the court’s refusal to charge on grand larceny was proper. Brooks v. State, 36 Ala.App. 310 , 55 So.2d 366 . “While the refused charges may be correct statements of the law, such were abstract due to the nature of evidence in the case at bar, and their refusal is not error. Brown v. State, 39 Ala.App. 149 , 96 So.2d 197 .” Also see Trammell v. State, 51 Ala.App. 168 , 283 So.2d 620 (1973).”
