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.
““We have reviewed the entire record under the requisites of T. 15, § 389 of the Code, rather than under the Automatic Appeal Act. (T. 15, § 382(1)-382(13). We have pretermitted review under the latter statute because in this case Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238 , 92 S.Ct. 2726 , 33 L.Ed.2d 346 , has intervened since the instant case was submitted to us. We think that the Furman opinion renders academic the use of the Automatic Appeal Act since the death penalty can no longer be exacted until further legislative action, if any, by the Legislature of Alabama.””
