Most-quoted passages

“A charge on intoxication should be given if `”
11 later decisions quote this exact passage
e.g. Sockwell v. State · Bailey v. State
“"We recognize that '[t]he degree of intoxication necessary to negate specific intent . . . must amount to insanity.' Ex parte Bankhead , 585 So.2d 112 , 121 (Ala. 1991). However, it is clear that where there is evidence of intoxication, the extent to which the accused is intoxicated is a question to be decided by the jury. Crosslin v. State , 446 So.2d 675 , 682 (Ala.Cr.App. 1983). See Ex parte Bankhead , 585 So.2d at 121 ; Chatham v. State , 92 Ala. [47] at 49, 9 So. [607] at 608 [(1891)]; Owen v. State , 611 So.2d at 1128 ; Anderson v. State , 507 So.2d 580 , 584 (Ala.Cr.App. 1987). In determining that the appellant 'was [not] so intoxicated that he didn't know what he was doing,' the trial court in the instant case 'invaded the exclusive province of the jury.' Owen v. State , 611 So.2d at 1128 ."”
