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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`In Ex parte Cranman , supra, this Court "restated the law of state-agent immunity in Alabama.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Given the divergence between the scope of the immunity granted by § 6-5-338 (a) — `conduct in performance of any discretionary function within the line and scope of his or her law enforcement duties' — and summarized in category (4) of the Cranman restatement — `exercising judgment in the enforcement of the criminal laws of the State. . . .' — we conclude that immune category 4 of the Cranman restatement should be expanded to restate the law of immunity in this area so as to reflect § 6-5-338 (a). "Because the peace officers' immunity statute does not limit the availability of immunity to `enforcement of the criminal laws,' we today modify category (4) of Cranman to read as follows: "`A State agent shall be immune from civil liability in his or her personal capacity when the conduct made the basis of the claim against the agent is based upon the agent's "`. . . . "`(4) exercising judgment in the enforcement of the criminal laws of the State, including, but not limited to, law-enforcement officers' arresting or attempting to arrest persons, or serving as peace officers under circumstances entitling such officers to immunity pursuant to § 6-5-338 (a), Ala. Code 1975.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Crocker's arresting Moore outside the county containing the city employing Crocker exceeded his authority and therefore forecloses his claim of peace officer immunity under § 6-5-338.”
