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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““ ‘It is of no “consequence that this testimony may have been incompetent at the time it was offered, if it was subsequently rendered [competent].” Hanners v. State, 147 Ala. 27 , 41 So. 973, 975 (1906). “[W]hile, ordinarily, in the introduction of evidence, it should be competent at the time when offered, still, if rendered competent by the subsequent introduction of other evidence, this is sufficient to correct and cure any error that might otherwise have existed in the admission of the evidence first offered.” Collins v. State, 138 Ala. 57 , 34 So. 993 , 994 (1903).’ ””
