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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘[A] defendant is acquitted only when “the ruling of the judge, whatever its label, actually represents a resolution [in the defendant’s favor], correct or not, of some or all of the factual elements of the offense charged” [citations]. Where the court, before the jury returns a verdict, enters a judgment of acquittal ***, appeal will be barred only when it is plain that the District Court *** evaluated the Government’s evidence and determined that it was legally insufficient to sustain a conviction.’ ” People v. Bean (1985), 135 Ill. App. 3d 336, 341 , 481 N.E.2d 888, 892 , quoting United States v. Scott (1978), 437 U.S. 82, 98 , 57 L. Ed. 2d 65, 78-79 , 98 S. Ct. 2187, 2197 .”
