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.
“Improper argument of counsel is not grounds for a new trial when the defendant's objections are sustained and no curative instruction is sought. See Alabama Power Co. v. Henderson , 342 So.2d 323 , 327 (Ala. 197[6]). An exception would be where counsel's remarks were so grossly improper and highly prejudicial as to be beyond corrective action by the trial court.”
