These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[E]ffectiveness of counsel does not lend itself to measurement by picking through the transcript and counting the places where objections might be made.”

3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"It is true that, 'in the process of selecting the jury from the venire afforded, each party has the right to have questions formulated by it propounded to the jury, either by the court or by the party as the court may determine, if such questions reasonably relate under the circumstances to the question of the qualification or interest or bias on the part of prospective jurors.' Griffin v. State , 383 So.2d 873 , 876 (Ala.Cr.App. 1980); see also, Alabama Power Co. v. Bonner , 459 So.2d 827 (Ala. 1984). It is equally clear, however, that the trial court has broad discretion in determining how the voir dire examination of a jury will be conducted. Robinson v. State , 430 So.2d 883 (Ala.Cr.App. 1983); Witherspoon v. State , 356 So.2d 743 (Ala.Cr.App. 1978). Where the procedure employed by the trial judge is sufficient to uncover possible prejudice or bias of a juror, the right of a party to have its questions propounded to the jury is not infringed upon. United States v. Brooks , 670 F.2d 148 (11th Cir. 1982), cert. denied, 457 U.S. 1124 , 102 S.Ct. 2943 , 73 L.Ed.2d 1339 (1982)."”
