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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In general, once a jury has been sworn and impaneled and jeopardy has attached, “the power of the trial judge to interrupt the proceedings on his own or the prosecutor’s motion by declaring a mistrial is subject to stringent limitations.” Jones v. State, 232 Ga. 324, 326-27 ( 206 SE2d 481 ) (1974). Accord Cobb v. State, 246 Ga. 619 ( 272 SE2d 296 ) (1980). However, if a defendant consents to a mistrial, he may not thereafter utilize the mistrial as the basis of a plea of double jeopardy. Lyde v. State, 241 Ga. 111 ( 243 SE2d 64 ) (1978).”
