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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]t is not sufficient for the trial judge to consider only the amount of the victim's damages. [Cit.] Pursuant to OCGA § 17-14-10, the court must also consider other factors, including `(1) The present financial condition of the offender and his dependents; (and) (2) The probable future earning capacity of the offender and his dependents. ...'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Because the evidence viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict shows [Smallwood] committed the burglary in which the guns were stolen, it follows that [he] took possession of the guns during the burglary. . . . Just as the circumstantial evidence in this case was sufficient to support the verdict of guilty as to the charge of burglary, it is also sufficient to support the verdict of guilty on those charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in which no direct evidence of possession was presented. 5”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“12. We need not address [appellant’s contention] that the State improperly failed to show a legitimate purpose for admitting the evidence of similar independent crimes because Williams [v. State, 261 Ga. 640 ( 409 SE2d 649 ) (1991)] provides a ground for reversal only as to objections raised at trial. [Cit.]”
