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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Pursuant to the principle of statutory construction, "Expressum facit cessare tacitum" (if some things are expressly mentioned, the inference is stronger that those omitted were intended to be excluded) and its companion, the venerable principle, "Expressio unius est exclusio alterius" ("The express mention of one thing implies the exclusion of another"), the list of actions in [a statute] is presumed to exclude actions not specifically listed, and the omission of [additional maximum-minimum sentencing provisions] from [the statute] is regarded by the courts as deliberate.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“it must appear that a complete enumeration or list normally would have included that which was omitted, thus making omission from the statute significant or indicative of legislative intent.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“OCGA § 40-6-392 deals only with `[c]hemical tests for alcohol or drugs in blood'; it does not concern any other tests for sobriety, including the alco-sensor test and field sobriety tests”
