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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This case is strikingly similar to Ex parte Johnson, 669 So.2d 205 (Ala.1995). In that case, ... I joined Justice Houston’s dissent, which stated that ‘an assistant district attorney cannot, by inadvertence, undermine the legislature’s authority to establish sentencing ranges.’ 669 So.2d at 207 . As in Johnson, the majority in this case overlooks the mandatory aspect of the sentence enhancement statutes as established by the legislature.””
