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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“There is no requirement that the testimony of the victim of child molestation be corroborated. See Padgett v. State, 175 Ga. App. 818 ( 334 SE2d 883 ) (1985). Nevertheless, the testimony of the victim in this case was corroborated in several material respects. From all of the evidence, the jury was authorized to find that [Coalson] had committed an immoral or indecent act to the person of the child. See generally Chapman v. State, 170 Ga. App. 779 (1) ( 318 SE2d 213 ) (1984). The evidence would also clearly authorize a finding that [Coalson] had done so with the intent to arouse his sexual desires. See generally Bentley v. State, 179 Ga. App. 287 (1) ( 346 SE2d 98 ) (1986).”
