The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“If the trial court asks whether or not there are any objections to the charge, counsel must either state his objections or reserve his right to object on motion for new trial or on appeal. . . . Here, as to the state’s requests to charge, defense counsel did neither, and the [contention] raised in [this] enumeration of error [has] not been preserved for appellate review.”
