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

“[t]his statute creates a limited and procedural exception to the general rule of law codified at OCGA § 17-9-4 that a defendant can collaterally attack void judgments at any time. It limits such attacks to within the first 180 days after the conviction has been finally adjudicated, even if a habeas petition could be brought and would be successful.”
