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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`A juror may not testify, either in impeachment or in support of his verdict, as to what effect a matter had upon his mind as causing or not causing him to agree to the verdict, as to why he agreed to the verdict or concerning the mental processes by which he came to agree to the verdict.' C. Gamble, McElroy's Alabama Evidence, § 94.06(2) (3rd ed.1977). `[T]he rule does not permit evidence by the jurors of their own mental operations.' Birmingham Electric Company v. Yoast, 256 Ala. 673, 678 , 57 So.2d 103 (1951).”
