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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘[I]t is settled that, even if [the appellant’s] six prior convictions had arisen out of a “common event or occurrence,” Seritt v. State, 401 So.2d 248, 250 (Ala.Crim.App.), cert. denied, 401 So.2d 251 (Ala.1981), or had been entered on the same day, Chambers v. State, 418 So.2d 948, 950 (Ala.Crim.App.1982), they would still have constituted six separate convictions. “[WJhere two or more convictions occur at the same time and in the same court, they are separate convictions within the meaning of the Habitual Offender Statute.” Watson v. State, 392 So.2d [1274,] 1279 [ (Ala.Crim.App.1980), ce rt. denied, 392 So.2d 1280 (Ala.1981) ]. “See also Silvey v. State, 485 So.2d 790, 793 (Ala.Crim.App.1986) (two prior Georgia convictions for felony assault which arose out of the same occurrence or event constituted two felonies, not one, for purposes of Habitual Felony Offender Act); Pearson v. State, 455 So.2d 963, 966 (Ala.Crim.App.1984) (five felony convictions in Illinois to be treated as five felony convictions in Alabama); Minor v. State, 451 So.2d 433, 435 (Ala.Crim.App.1984) (two felonies which occurred at the same time are equal to two felonies under Act); McLester v. State, 423 So.2d 286, 289-90 (Ala.Crim.App.1982) (where appellant was convicted for seven counts of burglary after kicking and breaking the windows of several stores in one mall, all seven felony convictions could be considered for purpose of the Act).””
