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 67 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As this court stated in [People v. Perez, 108 Ill. 2d 70 (1985)], ‘the fact that a separate jury found there were mitigating factors sufficient to preclude the imposition of the death penalty as to [a codefendant] does not mean that we must set aside the jury’s determination in the present case that as to [defendant] there was no mitigating factor or factors sufficient to preclude its imposition.’ Perez, 108 Ill. 2d at 93 .” Page, 156 Ill. 2d at 272 .”
