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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]here is no requirement that the prior transaction be absolutely identical to the crime charged, as long as there is some logical connection between the independent act and the crime charged so that proof of the former tends to prove the latter. Hudson v. State, 271 Ga. 477, 479 (2) ( 521 SE2d 810 ) (1999); Touchton v. State, 210 Ga. App. 700, 701 (2) ( 437 SE2d 370 ) (1993). See also Adams v. State, 208 Ga. App. 29, 32 (2) (b) ( 430 SE2d 35 ) (1993) (the prior sexual abuse of children, regardless of their gender or the specific acts perpetrated against them, is sufficiently similar to be admissible in a child molestation trial). ... In fact, “it is a well-established rule that when a defendant is charged with any form of sexual abuse of a child, evidence of prior sex crimes against children is admissible, because such conduct requires a unique bent of mind.” (Footnote omitted.) Turner v. State, 245 Ga. App. [476, 479 (2) ( 538 SE2d 125 ) (2000)].”
