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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Trial counsel . . . made a strategic decision not to use the [image] because... counsel believed that the evidence would not have helped [Williams’] case. In light of trial counsel’s reasonable strategic decisions, evidence supports the trial court’s conclusion that [Williams] failed to meet his burden of showing ineffective assistance of trial counsel. See Smith v. State, 283 Ga. 237, 239 (2) ( 657 SE2d 523 ) (2008).”
