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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[W]e now hold that a cash bond posted to secure the release of a defendant is definitive evidence of his 'ability to pay’ a recoupment order as long as the recoupment order does not exceed the amount of the cash bond. By 'definitive evidence,’ we mean the mere act of defendant’s posting a cash bond does, in itself, demonstrate an 'ability to pay’ a recoupment order, at least to the extent the order does not exceed the cash bond. No further evidence concerning the defendant’s 'ability to pay’ under these circumstances is required.” (Emphasis in original.) Baker, 195 Ill. App. 3d at 796 , 552 N.E.2d at 428 .”
