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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In order to show that evidence of specific bad acts of violence of the victim should be admitted, [Hewitt] was, at a minimum, required to (1) follow the procedural requirements for introducing the evidence, (2) establish the existence of prior violent acts by competent evidence, and (3) make a prima facie showing of justification. Laster v. State, 268 Ga. 172 (2) ( 486 SE2d 153 ) (1997); Chandler v. State, 261 Ga. 402 (3) ( 405 SE2d 669 ) (1991).”
