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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When the defendant elects to put his character in issue the direct examination must relate to his general reputation, not to particular transactions, but on cross examination the state may inquire with particularity to test the witness’ basis for the opinion given, and may “inquire if he has not heard particular persons speak ill of him, or if he has not known him to be accused of particular crimes.” Moulder v. State, 9 Ga.App. 438, 439 , 71 S.E. 682 .”
