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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[T]he victim of the purse snatching . . . testified that her purse was in her clothes basket in the laundromat and as she was starting to put her clothes in the washing machine someone grabbed her purse and ran. Although the evidence of distance between the owner and the purse was circumstantial, it is sufficient to support the finding that the taking was in her immediate presence as it is assumed that she was standing immediately by her clothes basket as she was preparing to transfer the clothes to the washing machine."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“It is error to inject into a case on trial any extraneous matter not in issue and unsupported by evidence, whether done by improper argument of counsel or by improper instructions on the part of the court... Instructions to the jury on a subject unsupported by any evidence and wholly irrelevant is error.” Campbell v. State, 81 Ga. App. 834, 835 ( 60 SE2d 169 ); Howard v. State, 86 Ga. App. 85, 88 ( 70 SE2d 870 ).”
