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.

“Under Witherspoon v. Illinois, 391 U. S. 510 (88 SC 1770, 20 LE2d 776) the trial court did not err in excluding for cause those prospective jurors who unmistakably answered that their reservations toward capital punishment were such that they would never vote to impose the death penalty regardless of the facts in the case. Whisman v. State, 224 Ga. 793 ( 164 SE2d 719 ); Hakala v. State, 225 Ga. 629 (1) ( 170 SE2d 406 ). Cf. Miller v. State, 224 Ga. 627, 636 ( 163 SE2d 730 ).”
