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.
“[A] person commits the offense of interference with government property when he damages government property. OCGA § 16-7-24 (a). Here, viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, the record shows that Edwards broke the mirror on the patrol car upon running into it. Thus, this case is quite similar to Fields v. State, 167 Ga. App. 400, 401 (2) ( 306 SE2d 695 ) (1983), where evidence that a marked sheriffs car suffered damage when it locked bumpers with the defendant’s car during a high-speed chase was found sufficient under Jackson v. Virginia[, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979)].”
