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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The burden is on the [S]tate to produce competent evidence of a prior conviction for purposes of sentencing. Under Georgia law, the best evidence of a prior conviction is a certified copy of the conviction itself. Hence, if the defendant timely objects on best evidence grounds, the [S]tate must produce a certified copy of the prior conviction in order to prove that the conviction occurred.”
