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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The [trial] court could believe Prank Richards did not know the information he gave plaintiffs was untrue and could also believe he was not culpably ignorant of its truth ... A finding that Frank Richards had no intent to deceive was not against the manifest weight of the evidence ... Consequently, we affirm the [trial] court’s judgment for all defendants on the fraud count.”
