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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘Here, the pardon restored not only the appellant’s civil and political rights, but also removed any legal disabilities incurred as a result of his prior felony convictions. Thus, the trial court erred in considering evidence of the pardoned convictions for enhancement purposes. See, e.g. Murray v. State of Louisiana, 347 F.2d 825 (5th Cir.1965). As this Court held in Love v. State, 681 So.2d 1108, 1109 (Ala.Cr.App.1996): “ ‘ “ ‘Since the first sentence imposed on [the defendant] was invalid, the trial court had not only the power, but the duty, to sentence [the defendant] as required by law. See, Bozza v. United States, 330 U.S. 160 , 67 S.Ct. 645 , 91 L.Ed. 818 (1947).””””

Therefore, the pardoned convictions cannot be used to enhance his sentence under the Habitual Felony Offender Act.”
