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.
“August 9 — Current defense counsel was appointed. August 25 — Counsel filed a motion to have the defendant transferred to the Henry County jail in order to allow the defendant to assist counsel in the preparation for trial. There was no ruling on the motion. September 6 — Defense counsel renewed the motion to have the defendant transferred. There was no ruling on the subsequent motion. October 27 — Defense counsel met with the defendant at the Henry County jail. November 7 — Trial set. The trial judge noted that the case had already been continued three times and one appointed counsel had withdrawn. The court continued the case two days to allow defense counsel more time to prepare. November 9 — Trial began. “ ‘A reversal of a conviction because of the trial court’s refusal to grant a continuance requires “a positive demonstration of abuse of judicial discretion.” Beauregard”
