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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"`The offense of possession of illegal drugs is susceptible of joint commission. Green v. State, 30 Ala.App. 94 , 2 So.2d 324 [, cert. denied, 241 Ala. 288 , 2 So.2d 326 (1941)]; Gunnells v. State, 21 Ala.App. 648 , 111 So. 320 [(1927)]. Further the guilt of the accused does not necessarily depend upon proof of his ownership of the drugs. Womack v. State, 34 Ala.App. 487 , 41 So.2d 429 [(1949)]; Thompson v. State, 32 Ala. App. 402 , 27 So.2d 55 [, cert. denied, 248 Ala. 270 , 27 So.2d 59 (1946)]. However, there must be evidence from which the jury might conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant knew of the presence of the drugs. Such guilty knowledge may be established by circumstantial evidence. Womack v. State, supra; Thompson v. State, supra.'"”
