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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Charge 25 is erroneous as a legal proposition. Aside from the presumption that every one is held - accountable for the natural and probable consequences of his acts intentionally done (McManus v. State, 36 Ala. 285 ), many murders are committed without actual intention to kill. Deaths, even when not thought of, ensuing from an attempt to maim, or from an attempt to commit any other felony-, are examples of this kind of murder.””
