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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“On the other hand, [v]erdiets are mutually exclusive “where a guilty verdict on one count logically excludes a finding of guilt on the other.” (Emphasis supplied.) Jackson v. State, 276 Ga. 408, 410 (2) ( 577 SE2d 570 ) (2003), citing United States v. Powell, [supra]. Thus, the rule against mutually exclusive verdicts applies to multiple guilty verdicts which cannot be logically reconciled; the rule is not implicated where, as here, verdicts of guilty and not guilty are returned. Dumas v. State, 266 Ga. 797 (2) ( 471 SE2d 508 ) (1996).”
4 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Smith v. State · Smith v. State“a person is not legally insane simply because he suffers from schizophrenia or a psychosis. Rather, a defendant is not guilty by reason of insanity if, at the time of the criminal act, the defendant did not have the mental capacity to distinguish between right and wrong in relation to such act or a mental disease caused a delusional compulsion that overmastered his will to resist committing the crime.”
