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.
““In Ellis [v. Pope, 709 So.2d 1161 (Ala.1998) ], the Alabama Supreme Court held Act. No. 96-454, Acts of Alabama, 1996, unconstitutional. That Act set up Coffee County’s system of calling prospective jurors from the county as a whole and not solely from the division of the county where the offense occurred .... The Court in Ellis held that the Act was declared unconstitutional because it directly conflicted with Art. I, § 6, Alabama Constitution of 1901, which provides that prospective jurors be called from the particular ‘district’ where the offense occurred.””
