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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[E]vidence that McMullen may have been engaged in a drug purchase at the time of the incident is clearly relevant to the issues of the case and is not a mere contradiction of her in-court statement. Defendant did not commit the offense of vehicular invasion if he entered McMullen’s vehicle with her permission to sell her drugs. *** * * * *** The evidence complained of should have been admitted to show McMullen’s [possible] motive in accusing [Lyons], that motive being that she did not want to admit that she was engaged in a drug purchase.” Lyons, 315 Ill. App. 3d at 966-68 (Cook, EJ., dissenting).”
