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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The General Assembly determined that chemical analysis of blood, urine, breath or other bodily substance, when “performed according to methods approved by the Division of Forensic Sciences of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation . . .” shall be admissible as evidence of the amount of alcohol or drug in a person’s system. OCGA § 40-6-392 (a) (1) (A). The scientific objectivity and reliability of intoximeter tests to determine blood alcohol concentration [were] approved in Lattarulo v. State 20 Consequently, we do not agree with defendant that the instruction under review misstates the law. On the contrary, it is a correct statement of the law. 21”
