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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Under the language of § 15-13-139, Ala. Code 1975, a trial court is given complete discretion to remit all or any portion of a final forfeiture judgment. We note that it is the duty of a reviewing court to presume that the trial court properly exercised its discretion when a question of its discretion is raised on appeal. Baumler v. Baumler , 368 So.2d 864 (Ala. Civ. App. 1979). This court will not revise a trial court's exercise of its discretion unless it determines from the evidence that the trial court plainly and palpably erred. Livengood v. Sechler , 382 So.2d 567 (Ala. Civ. App. 1980)."”
