7 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Lewis v. State · Jones v. State“"[T]he fact that isolated instructions are erroneous or misleading is no ground for reversal where the instructions as a whole present the case properly. Johnson v. State , 81 Ala. 54 , 1 So. 573 (1886). Where a portion of the oral charge is erroneous or misleading, the whole charge may be looked to, and the entire charge must be construed together to see if there be reversible error. Harris v. State , 412 So.2d 1278 , 1281 (Ala.Crim.App. 1982)."”
