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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In our opinion the court erred in not allowing the appellant to answer the question propounded above. The two statements made by appellant to the sheriff are contradictory to each other and are further contradictory to the testimony of the appellant at the trial. “We think the case at bar is controlled by the rule set out in Ingram v. State, 34 Ala.App. 597 , 42 So.2d 30 , reversed and remanded, 252 Ala. 497 , 42 So.2d 36 . “We therefore, hold under the authorities above set out that the witness should have been allowed to explain the discrepancy between his statements made to the sheriff and his testimony at the trial.””
