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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[r]eckless conduct occurs when a person causes bodily harm to or endangers the bodily safety of another person by consciously disregarding a substantial and unjustifiable risk that his act or omission will cause harm or endanger the safety of the other person and the disregard constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care which a reasonable person would exercise in the situation. OCGA § 16-5-60 (b) . The distinguishing difference between a charge of aggravated assault and one of reckless conduct is that in a case of aggravated assault, [placing another in fear of receiving a violent injury] is the intended consequence of the defend ant’s act, whereas with reckless conduct, the [victim’s apprehension] is a product of the defendant’s criminal negligence. Compare Shaw v. State, 238 Ga. App. 757 ( 519 SE2d 486 ) (1999) [(physical precedent only)].”
