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.
“From our examination of Williams , we conclude the Supreme Court of Illinois was not abandoning the well-settled interpretation given Montgomery , which provides in the first prong that all felonies may be used for impeachment, and in the second prong allows nonfelonies to be used for impeachment if they relate to truth or veracity. Both the first and second prongs are subject to the third prong, which provides for a determination that the impeaching offense has a probative value not substantially outweighed by its prejudicial effect. * * * * * * Williams also warns that close attention should be given to whether prior felonies actually have the ability to impeach veracityand this should be done when determining whether the probative value is outweighed by the prejudicial effect.”
