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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Although the burden rests on the State to establish, by clear and convincing evidence, that respondent’s release does not meet the statutory standard, the State presented no evidence tending to show that the release was inappropriate. On the contrary, we note that all testimony before the trial court evidenced respondent’s progress since his commitment to the custody of the Department and his compliance with the treatment program. The State’s witness, respondent’s psychiatrist, and the professional staff *** concurred in the facility director’s recommendation that respondent be conditionally released. Based on the record before us, there can be no finding supported by clear and convincing evidence that the proposed release plan did not provide reasonable assurances for respondent’s further treatment and for the safety of others.””
