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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Rape Shield Statute bars the admission of evidence relating to the victim’s past sexual behavior unless it directly involves the accused’s participation and supports an inference that the accused could have reasonably believed that the victim consented to the conduct at issue. Griffin v. State, 224 Ga. App. 225, 227-228 (2) ( 480 SE2d 608 ) (1997); OCGA § 24-2-3 (b). The evidence may also be admitted on a finding that it “is so highly material that it will substantially support a conclusion that the accused reasonably believed that the complaining witness consented to the conduct complained of and that justice mandates the admission of such evidence.” OCGA § 24-2-3 (c) (2); Brown v. State, 214 Ga. App. 676, 677 (2) ( 448 SE2d 723 ) (1994). We review the trial court’s exclusion of the evidence for abuse of discretion. Hicks v. State, 222 Ga. App. 828, 829 (1) ( 476 SE2d 101 ) (1996).”
