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.
“'When reviewing the propriety of a trial court's jury charge, this Court must consider the charge as a whole, in its totality, without isolating statements, which individually may appear prejudicial, from the context in which they were made.' Johnson v. State , 399 So.2d 859 , 865 (Ala.Cr.App. 1979). See also, Peterson v. State , 452 So.2d 1372 (Ala.Cr.App. 1984); Alabama Power Company v. Tatum , 293 Ala. 500 , 306 So.2d 251 (1975). As long as combined directions in original and supplemental charges accurately present the controversial point of law , ordinarily no reviewable error exists. United States v. Sanfilippo , 581 F.2d 1152 (5th Cir. 1978).”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“'The kinds of circumstances which may provide a connection between a defendant and the contraband are unlimited and will naturally depend on the facts of each particular case.' Cason v. State , 435 So.2d 200 (Ala.Cr.App. 1983).”
