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 123 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Our basic consideration here is not necessarily the correctness of the trial court’s rulings on the defendants’ motions for change of venue ***, but whether upon the record as a whole the defendants received a trial before a fair and impartial jury since these rulings were proper if defendants actually received such a trial.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““If we were to read only the first sentence of the instruction then the defendant’s assertion would be correct. However, when the instruction as a whole is considered, the mention of the presumption of sanity is at most harmless error. The presumption, as stated, in this instruction, is that all persons are sane and personally responsible for their acts until insanity is made to appear by the evidence. When such evidence is introduced, then the presumption of sanity ceases and the prosecution must prove the sanity of the accused by a preponderance of the evidence. People v. Bender, 20 Ill. 2d 45 .” 44 Ill. 2d 376, 384 , 256 N.E.2d 321, 326 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““ ‘The Court instructs the jury that a person is presumed to be sane until the contrary is shown. Once evidence tending to show insanity is introduced then the State has the burden of proving by the preponderance or greater weight of the evidence that the petitioner is sane.’ ” ( 44 Ill. 2d 376, 384 , 256 N.E.2d 321, 326 .)”
