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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When the State offers eyewitness testimony, its failure to provide additional evidence in the form of fingerprints to substantiate the eyewitness is unnecessary if that evidence would be only cumulative. (People v. Hickman (1973), 9 Ill. App. 3d 601 , 291 N.E.2d 872 ; People v. Jones (1964), 30 Ill. 2d 186 , 195 N.E.2d 698 .) The absence of fingerprint evidence should only affect the weight to be given the identity testimony as a whole and that determination is for the trier of fact. People v. Abrams (1974), 21 Ill. App. 3d 734 , 316 N.E.2d 5 ; People v. Wooden (1972), 9 Ill. App. 3d 310 , 292 N.E.2d 236 .””

Their testimony was clear and credible that the defendant placed both of their lives in danger when he discharged the weapon in their direction. The trial court properly considered the circumstances surrounding the assault, and found that the defendant fired his rifle with total disregard for the safety of the police officers in question.
