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.
“"We have again carefully read the Youthful Offender Act, Title 15, Section 266(1) et seq., Code of Alabama 1940 (Supplement) [now codified at § 15-19-1 et seq., Ala.Code 1975], and we do not find a provision for a second or successive applications for treatment as a Youthful Offender after the Court has, in his discretion, denied the first application. ".... "In Clemmons v. State , Ala., [ 294 Ala. 746 ,] 321 So.2d 238 [(1975)], the Supreme Court said: "`The court would naturally consider such matters as the nature of the crime charged, prior convictions, or absence thereof all of which can be ascertained without a lengthy, time consuming investigation by the probation officer. "`Further "`However, our statute requires that the determination to grant or refuse youthful offender treatment be made at a point near the commencement of the criminal action, and before entry of a plea. ' (Emphasis supplied.). "Appellant pleaded guilty to grand larceny and then reapplied for Youthful Offender treatment. As we read Clemmons, supra, such procedure is not justified or authorized."”
