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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The court charged the jury, using the language of the statute, that a person who 'knowingly and wilfully obstructs any law enforcement officer in the lawful discharge of his official duties,’ is guilty of a misdemeanor. No futher definition or explanation of the charge would be necessary without written request.” Ratliff v. State, 133 Ga. App. 256 (2) ( 211 SE2d 192 ). No request appearing, the charge of the court was not erroneous for the reason assigned.”
