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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The introduction of this copy of the receipt was not only contrary to the statement of the State’s attorney that it would not be used, but the original having been obtained by an unlawful search and seizure the People were not entitled to have a copy in evidence. * * * It was error to admit this exhibit in evidence. * * * While this court condemns the conduct of the State’s attorney in that behalf and such conduct would in a close case work a reversal of the judgment, yet in this case the exhibit tended only to show the rela-> tionship between Rizzo and Rooney, and its admission did not amount to prejudicial error.””
