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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“To prevail on a claim of inadequacy of counsel, appellant has the burden of showing that counsel’s performance was deficient and that the deficient performance prejudiced the defense by creating a reasonable probability of a different outcome but for counsel’s errors; an appellate court evaluates counsel’s performance from [her] perspective at trial time. Rucker v. State, 268 Ga. 406, 407 (2) ( 489 SE2d 844 ) [(1997)]. ... “A trial court’s finding that a defendant has not been denied effective assistance of counsel will be affirmed unless clearly erroneous and the defendant must overcome the strong presumption that trial counsel’s conduct falls within the wide range of reasonable professional conduct.” Kelly v. State, 267 Ga. 252, 253 (2) ( 477 SE2d 110 ) [(1996)].”

State, 267 Ga. 252, 253 (2) ( 477 SE2d 110 ) [(1996)]. The trial court’s findings in this case also were supported by the presumption that in the absence of contrary evidence, counsel’s actions are presumed strategic in nature. Adams v. State, 217 Ga. App. 532, 533 (2) ( 458 SE2d 171 ) [(1995)], citing Earnest v. State, 262 Ga. 494, 496-497 ( 422 SE2d 188 )”
