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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'It is settled law that in criminal cases the flight or attempted flight of a defendant is a circumstance which the jury may take into consideration.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"MS. HOLLIS (PROSECUTOR): Did you hear one voice, one voice from that witness stand say `I thought Donald Underwood was going to hurt him'? "MR. PARKER: Objection to that statement, Your Honor, please. First of all, that the jury is not to consider that statement. That statement violates the Alabama Constitution. "THE COURT: Ladies and gentlemen, don't consider that statement made in your consideration of this case. "MR. PARKER: Next, I will move for a mistrial, because that has so prejudiced this case that we are entitled to another trial on this case.”
