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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. ““The court in Blount v. State, [ 572 So.2d 498 (Ala.Crim.App.1990) ] clearly held that, ‘before a subsequent petition can be deemed successive, a previous petition must have been considered on its merits,’ id. at 500 . The Blount court further ruled that, regardless of whether the subsequent petition raises the same or different grounds, ‘the first inquiry in determining whether a subsequent petition ... is successive is whether a prior petition was decided on its merits,’ id. at 500-01 .””
