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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Effective counsel does not mean errorless counsel or counsel that objected every time he `probably should have.' Adams v. Wainwright , 709 F.2d 1443 , 1446 (11th Cir. 1983), cert. denied, 464 U.S. 1063 , 104 S.Ct. 745 , 79 L.Ed.2d 203 (1984). `[A] court should not lightly infer that a prosecutor intends an ambiguous remark to have its most damaging meaning.' Donnelly v. DeChristoforo , *Page 393 416 U.S. 637 , 647 , 94 S.Ct. 1868 , 1873 , 40 L.Ed.2d (1974 ). Here, as in Fleming v. Kemp , 748 F.2d 1435 , 1450 (11th Cir. 1984), cert. denied, [ 475 U.S. 1058 ], 106 S.Ct. 1286 , 89 L.Ed.2d 593 91986), `We have examined the comments in question and conclude that their propriety was debatable and that objections could have backfired on the defense. Counsel's heat-of-trial decisions not to object are understandable here. Even in hindsight, we cannot fault them.' The prosecutor's comments were not of such nature as to render the proceedings fundamentally unfair. At the very worst, they are questionable, but certainly not of constitutional magnitude. Hall v. Wainwright , 733 F.2d 766 , 773 (11th Cir. 1984), cert. denied, Wainwright v. Hall , 471 U.S. 1107 , 105 S.Ct. 2344 , 85 L.Ed.2d 858 (1985).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Without conceding that the trial Court’s use of Petitioner’s prior offenses were [sic] improper [not every use of prior convictions without proof of representation is invalid. See Lewis v. United States, 445 U.S. 55 [ 100 S.Ct. 915 , 63 L.Ed.2d 198 ] (1980).... Petitioner’s punishment was not enhanced by virtue of her criminal history in the sense that convictions are enhanced under the DUI and habitual offender statutes as in Petitioner’s cited cases.... “The finding by the Court rejected a statutory mitigating circumstance. The Court was not determining the presence of an aggravating circumstance.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Reeves“"A writ of error coram nobis is appropriate only when the petitioner's claim is based on facts he or she did not know and could not have discovered at the time of trial." Comment, Post-Conviction Remedies in Alabama , 29 Ala.L.Rev. 617, 635 (1978). This rule applies in capital cases involving the death sentence. Ex parte Seals , [ 271 Ala. 622 , 126 So.2d 474 , cert. denied, 366 U.S. 954 , 81 S.Ct. 1909 , 6 L.Ed.2d 1246 (1961)]; Luke v. State , 484 So.2d 531 , 532 (Ala.Cr.App. 1985)."”
