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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“To prevail on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, a defendant must show that counsel’s performance was deficient and that the deficient performance so prejudiced the defendant that there is a reasonable likelihood that, but for counsel’s errors, the outcome of the trial would have been different. Terry v. State, 284 Ga. 119 ( 663 SE2d 704 ) (2008), citing Strickland v. Washington, 466 U. S. 668, 687 (104 SC 2052, 80 LE2d 674)(1984). If an appellant fails to meet his or her burden of proving either prong of the Strickland test, the reviewing court does not have to examine the other prong. Id. at 697 (IV); Fuller v. State, 277 Ga. 505 (3) ( 591 SE2d 782 ) (2004). In reviewing the trial court’s decision, “ ‘(w)e accept the trial court’s factual findings and credibility determinations unless clearly erroneous, but we independently apply the legal principles to the facts.’ (Cit.)” Robinson v. State, 277 Ga. 75, 76 ( 586 SE2d 313 ) (2003).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In light of the limited amount of information about [Randy] that was available to trial counsel prior to trial, the fact that counsel failed to locate [Randy] despite her good faith efforts to do so did not amount to deficient performance. [Cit.] Because evidence supports the conclusion that trial counsel was not ineffective, [Vaughn’s] claim to the contrary is without merit.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“knew about [a particular defense witness's] existence and had a plan to call him as a potential witness prior to trial, and yet failed to inform the State about [the witness] until the third day of trial”
