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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Defendant admitted that he had drunk alcoholic beverages shortly before the accident and witnesses said that there was a strong and heavy odor of alcohol on his breath. Another witness testified that he ‘kept mumbling a few words and kept talking of being sorry,’ and his eyes were somewhat ‘blurred.’ This evidence amounts to something more than a ‘mere odor of alcohol’ on one’s breath commented on in Burks v. Webb, Administratrix, 199 Va. 296 , 99 S. E. 2d 629 . Here the evidence supports an instruction submitting the issue of whether or not defendant was operating his automobile while under the influence of intoxicants. # * *””
