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

1. ““The trial judge only had to find that [the appellant] Walker violated his probation to his ‘reasonable satisfaction.’ Armstrong v. State, 294 Ala. 100 , 312 So.2d 620, 623 (1975), and the standard of proof is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt or a preponderance of the evidence. Powell v. State, 485 So.2d 379 (Ala.1986). The State was not required to ‘convict’ [the appellant] Walker of the crime ... at the probation revocation hearing.””
