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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In this case, evidence that defendant... smelled of alcohol, that defendant’s speech was slurred, his eyes were [glassy], and his stance was unsteady, coupled with the officer’s opinion of defendant’s impaired driving abilities, is sufficient under the standard of Jackson v. Virginia ... to authorize the jury’s verdict that beyond a reasonable doubt defendant was under the influence of alcohol to the extent it was less safe for him to drive in violation of OCGA § 40-6-391 (a) (1), as alleged in the uniform traffic citation. Williams v. State, 190 Ga. App. 361 (1) ( 378 SE2d 886 ) [(1989)].”
