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.
“We have repeatedly approved of such a procedure; the question is “whether defendant was deprived of any substantial rights” by the proffer. (Emphasis omitted.) Houston v. State, 187 Ga. App. 335, 338 (2) ( 370 SE2d 178 ) (1988); Harris v. State, 210 Ga. App. 366, 367 (2) ( 436 SE2d 231 ) (1993). The recent decision of the United States Supreme Court limiting the hearsay exceptions to the Confrontation Clause to those “firmly rooted” in the common law do not persuade us otherwise, as the State introduced no hearsay evidence during trial, and Ellis had ample opportunity to cross-examine the similar transaction witness then. See Crawford v. Washington, 541 U. S. [at 41].”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“We view the evidence on appeal in the light most favorable to the verdict and no longer presume the defendant is innocent. We do not weigh the evidence or decide the witnesses’ credibility[, but instead] construe the evidence and all reasonable inferences from the evidence most strongly in favor of the jury’s verdict.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“(1) the evidence will be admitted for a proper purpose; (2) sufficient evidence establishes that the defendant committed the independent act; and (3) sufficient connection or similarity exists between the independent offense and the crime charged, so that proof of the former tends to prove the latter.
