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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “"`It is a generally accepted principle, as set forth in the Alabama Rules of Evidence, that a party against whom inadmissible evidence is offered must make a formal, specific objection.' 1 Charles W. Gamble, McElroy's Alabama Evidence § 426.01(1) (5th ed. 1996) (citing Rule 103(a), Ala.R.Evid.). The objection must also be timely. See Rule 103(a), Ala.R.Evid.; General Motors Corp. v. Johnston , 592 So.2d 1054 , 1057-58 (Ala. 1992) (holding that, where the defendant did not object before the plaintiff's expert testified, the defendant's motion to strike that witness's testimony, made after the close of the plaintiff's case, was insufficient to preserve for appellate review an alleged error regarding the admission of that testimony). `Such an objection is a condition precedent to the party's effectual complaint on appeal against the reception of such evidence.' Gamble, McElroy's Alabama Evidence § 426.01(1)."”
