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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"A killing and sudden passion, excited by provocation, without malice, is `manslaughter,' since malice and heat of passion cannot co-exist, and is not murder. Smith v. State , 31 Ala. App. 12 , 11 So.2d 466 , cert. denied, 243 Ala. 627 , 11 So.2d 473 . To authorize a conviction for assault with intent to murder, evidence must show an assault with intent to take life, under circumstances which, if death had resulted, would have constituted murder. Thompson v. State , 37 Ala. App. 446 , 70 So.2d 282 ."”
