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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Granting a continuance is always discretionary with the court. Watson v. State , 389 So.2d 961 (Ala.Cr.App. 1980). This is true even where an alleged lack of preparation by counsel is the result of the refusal of the accused to cooperate with counsel. Godfrey v. State , 383 So.2d 575 (Ala.Cr.App. 1980); Boswell v. State , 290 Ala. 349 , 276 So.2d 592 (1973).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“information received by officers over the radio in regard to a suspect constitutes sufficient cause to make an investigatory stop to question the suspect about suspected criminal activity.
