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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Where an inaccessible witness’s prior testimony satisfies the requirements of OCGA § 24-3-10, the testimony does not violate the accused’s right of confrontation. [Gibson] made it clear that [she] would not testify about the [incidents] at trial. [Her] sworn testimony at [Kilgore]’s probation revocation hearing concerned substantially the same issue as the trial of this case. . . . [ Kilgore]’s probation revocation hearing was between substantially the same parties as was his trial. And [Gibson] was subject to cross-examination by [Kilgore]’s trial counsel at the probation revocation hearing. Because [Gibson]’s prior testimony satisfied OCGA § 24-3-10, it did not violate [Kilgore]’s right of confrontation. 11”

2. “[t]he testimony of a witness since deceased, disqualified, or inaccessible for any cause which was given under oath on a former trial upon substantially the same issue and between substantially the same parties may be proved by anyone who heard it and who professes to remember the substance of the entire testimony as to the particular matter about which he testifies.”
