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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It has long been the law in this State that where the trial court exercises its discretion in allowing a police officer who is the nominal prosecutor to remain in the courtroom based on the district attorney’s statement that such officer’s presence is necessary for the orderly presentation of the State’s case, the discretion of the court in allowing him to remain will not be disturbed. Davis v. State, 225 Ga. App. 564, 569 (6) ( 484 SE2d 284 ) (1997); Howard v. State, 144 Ga. App. 31 ( 240 SE2d 589 ) (1977).”
