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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although alibi has often been treated as an affirmative defense, it “is not truly an independent affirmative defense. It is simply evidence in support of a defendant’s plea of not guilty, and should be treated merely as ‘evidence tending to disprove one of the essential factors in the case of the prosecution, that is, presence of the defendant at the time and place of the alleged crime.’ ” Parham v. State, 120 Ga. App. 723, 727 ( 171 SE2d 911 ) (1969); accord, Rivers v. State, 250 Ga. 288 ( 298 SE2d 10 ) (1982).”
