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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When a defendant learns that the trial judge has sought on his own initiative to resolve his case without benefit of trial, a defendant may well deduce that the judge has prejudged him to be guilty and that a plea of not guilty would be futile. When, on the other hand, both the State’s Attorney and defense counsel seek to reach agreement but are unable to do so without the assistance of the judge, any indication of the judge’s prejudice from the mere fact of his willingness to assist in [a negotiation] would be negligible.” ( 17 Ill. App. 3d 310, 313-14 , 308 N.E.2d 88 .)”
