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.
“While it is the right of the defendant to have counsel with him at every stage during the trial of a case (see Duke v. State, 104 Ga. App. 494 ( 122 SE2d 127 )), no harm resulted to the defendant, where in the absence of his counsel, the court turned the jury over to the sheriff to be taken to supper, at which time one of the jurors asked, `What about the minimum sentence served and parole?' and the judge replied, `The court can't answer that question; the law won't permit the court to discuss that with the jury.' This did not amount to an instruction to the jury, but merely to a mandatory refusal to instruct the jury on a prohibited issue.”
