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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This is not a case in which the omitted mitigating evidence was cumulative to evidence that was presented, see Ferguson v. State, 13 So.3d 418 (Ala.Crim.App.2008), or in which counsel investigated and made an informed strategic decision not to present evidence concerning Gamble’s upbringing, see Waldrop v. State, 987 So.2d 1186 (Ala.Crim.App.2007). Here, counsel’s investigation was so inadequate that they failed to discover any mitigation evidence to present at the penalty phase — although the Rule 32 evidentiary hearing clearly showed that there was a plethora of evidence that could have been presented on Gamble’s behalf.””
