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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]lthough the foregoing Code section specifically excludes capital felonies, for the purpose of imposition of punishment — armed robbery is not a capital felony. Collins v. State, 239 Ga. 400, 402 ( 236 SE2d 759 ) [(1977)]. The general recidivist statute includes — for purpose of punishment — the offense of armed robbery. Davis v. State, 159 Ga. App. 356, 361 (4) (b) ( 283 SE2d 286 ) (1981). Under the authority of Collins and Davis , this court has held if death is not a possible sentence, insofar as punishment is concerned, the offense cannot be capital, and a defendant charged with armed robbery may be indicted as a recidivist.”
