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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “a question seeking to elicit, from an individual juror on his voir dire, specific facts or circumstances which are clearly within the purview of [OCGA § 15-12-133] should not be proscribed merely because more general questions dealing with the same subject matter have been previously addressed to the entire panel of prospective jurors. The statute provides that “counsel for either party” shall have the right to question prospective jurors.”

2. “[t]he questions were clearly “touching any matter or thing which would illustrate any interest of the juror in the cause,” and were specifically questions concerning a “fact or circumstance [which would indicate] any inclination, leaning or bias which the juror might have respecting the subject matter of the suit.” [OCGA § 15-12-133.]”

3. “appellant’s questions were unnecessary because the state had previously asked two general questions as to whether any of the prospective jurors had any strong feelings about the use of drugs or exposure to the drug world which would prevent them from sitting as fair and impartial jurors.”
