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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Inasmuch as the witness had already been impeached, and [he] did not attempt to rehabilitate [his] character by explaining the circumstances of [his] convictions (see Belvin v. Houston Fertilizer &c. Co., 169 Ga. App. 100, 101 (2) ( 311 SE2d 526 ) (1983)), the facts surrounding the . . . conviction[s] should have been excluded. [Cits.] It follows that the trial court erred in permitting the [party] to “bolster” its impeachment evidence.”
