Most-quoted passages

““ ‘And when Detective Strickland, after talking for a while, finally says Karen Gilbert wasn’t asleep, she saw you as you walked by that couch, she identified you, what does [defendant] do? What does he do? He slumps, the head goes down. He says let’s make a deal. Let me work this through. I know drug dealers. Let’s make a deal, ladies and gentlemen. Make a deal for what? His instinctive reaction when he knew he was caught was to try and make a deal.’ ” Ward, 192 Ill. App. 3d at 549 .”

No. You’d say she’s wrong, something along those lines, but not let’s make a deal, let me work this off, I know some drug dealers.’ ” Ward, 192 Ill. App. 3d at 546 .”
