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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A court may not revoke any part of any probated or suspended sentence unless the evidence produced at the revocation hearing establishes by a preponderance of the evidence the violation or violations alleged. OCGA § 42-8-34.1 (b). This court will not interfere with a revocation unless there has been a manifest abuse of discretion on the part of the trial court.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“Although the State’s burden of proof is lower in a probation revocation case, a probationer’s mere presence in the area where [the prohibited item is] found will not justify a [probation] revocation based on possession of [the prohibited item], even under the more relaxed preponderance of the evidence standard.”
