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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“OCGA § 17-7-170 governs demands for speedy trial in non-capital cases and such statute and the case law dealing with such statute must be distinguished from OCGA § 17-7-171 [which governs demands for speedy trial in capital cases] and the case law dealing with that statute as the two are quite different. The requirements of OCGA § 17-7-171 are also more stringent than those of OCGA § 17-7-170 due to the different nature of the two types of offenses.”
