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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘An examination of the elements of rape and incest . . . reveals that, as a matter of fact, if [defendant] were found to have engaged in sexual intercourse, a necessary element of rape, with his niece, an incestuous relationship proscribed by [OCGA § 16-6-22], then he must necessarily have committed the crime of incest. Thus, applying the “alternative test” enunciated in Pryor [v. State, 238 Ga. 698 , 234 S.E.2d 918 ], it appears that as a matter oí fact, in the instant case, the crime of incest is “included” within the crime of rape, as intended by [OCGA § 16-1-6].’ ” 190 Ga. App. at 265 (quoting Ramsey v. State, 145 Ga. App. 60 , Syl. ¶ 10, 243 S.E.2d 555 , rev’d on other grounds 241 Ga. 426 , 246 S.E.2d 190 [1978]).”
