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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"In Ex parte Jackson, 614 So.2d 405 (Ala.1993), the Alabama Supreme Court examined another death penalty provision, subsection (a)(17) of § 13A-5-40, to see if it applied to the facts of that case. After considering both the `clear statutory language' of the provision and the presumption that `the legislature knows the meaning of the words it uses in enacting legislation,' the Court concluded that the provision did not apply. We likewise presume that the legislature knew the meaning of the clear language it used in § 13A-5-40(a)(14). If the legislature had intended subsection (a)(14) to apply to projected witnesses, the legislature could have written the statute to include a victim who is `listed on the indictment to be subpoenaed' or who is `projected to be a witness.' `The judiciary will not add that which the Legislature chose to omit.' Jackson, 614 So.2d at 407 . If the legislature disagrees with this interpretation of § 13A-5-40(a)(14), then it will enact appropriate legislation to modify the statute and yield a different result in subsequent cases."”
