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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“defendant’s general bad character is not admissible unless the defendant first puts his character in issue. OCGA §§ 24-2-2; 24-9-20 (b). But “(a) witness may be impeached by disproving the facts testified to by him.” OCGA § 24-9-82. “Testimony may be admissible for the purpose of impeaching the veracity of a witness even if it would be impermissible if offered for the purpose of impeaching the defendant’s character.” Martin v. State, 205 Ga. App. 591, 593 (4) ( 422 SE2d 876 ) (1992).”
