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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'In determining the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain a conviction, a reviewing court must accept as true all evidence introduced by the State, accord the State all legitimate inferences therefrom, and consider all evidence in a light most favorable to the prosecution. Faircloth v. State , 471 So.2d 485 (Ala.Cr.App. 1984), aff'd, 471 So.2d 493 (Ala. 1985). Furthermore, a judgment of conviction will not be set aside on the ground of insufficiency of the evidence unless, allowing all reasonable presumptions for its correctness, the preponderance of the evidence against the judgment is so decided as to clearly convince the reviewing court that it was wrong and unjust. Jackson v. State , 516 So.2d 726 (Ala.Cr.App. 1985).' " Burell v. State , 680 So.2d 975 , 977 (Ala.Cr.App. 1996) quoting, Powe v. State , 597 So.2d 721 , 724 (Ala. 1992). Sufficient evidence was presented to show that the appellant was guilty of the crime of stalking. The testimony of the victim by itself is sufficient to establish a prima facie case. A.B.T. v. State , 620 So.2d 120 , 122 (Ala.Cr.App. 1992), cert. denied, 620 So.2d 120 (Ala.Cr.App. 1993). "Any conflict in the evidence presents a question for the trier of fact.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“`whether there existed legal evidence before the jury, at the time the motion was made, from which the jury by fair inference could have found the appellant guilty.'”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"`Whether vel non the reading of a newspaper article has influenced the jury to the detriment of appellant is a question to be determined by the trial court in the exercise of its sound discretion.' Williams v. State , 410 So.2d 911 , 913 (Ala.Crim.App. 1982). Even when jurors read newspaper accounts of the case, a verdict will not be disturbed if the trial court determines that none of the jurors was affected by the article. Wiggins v. State , 429 So.2d 666 (Ala.Crim.App. 1983); Flowers v. State , 402 So.2d 1118 (Ala.Crim.App. 1981)."”
