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.
“Further, defendant’s prior conviction of forgery involved, as did the burglary with which he was charged here, an element of theft. It is true that the trial court did instruct the jury to treat defendant’s prior convictions as affecting only the defendant’s credibility as a witness; however, that is not a substitute for counsel’s right to inquire into the individual juror’s attitude toward convicted felons in an attempt to determine the ability of the jurors to be guided by the court’s instructions. Under these circumstances, we conclude that the trial court’s limitation of defendant’s voir dire questioning constituted prejudicial error.”
