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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"One of the rights our forefathers fought and suffered for is the United States Constitution's guarantee to all criminal defendants of the right to a trial 'by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.' U.S. Const. amend. VI. Thus, if an impartial jury, selected from the district wherein the crime was committed, cannot be impaneled, then to refuse the request for a change of venue is a denial of due process of law. Rideau v. Louisiana , 373 U.S. 723 , 726 [ 83 S.Ct. 1417 , 1419 , 10 L.Ed.2d 663 ] (1963). See also Groppi v. Wisconsin , 400 U.S. 505 [ 91 S.Ct. 490 , 27 L.Ed.2d 571 ] (1971). The Constitution of Alabama of 1901 echoes this requirement. See Ala. Const. art. I § 6."”
