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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Even if the proof were otherwise and the officers had taken Mitcham to view the defendants in custody in the pohce car, we are of the opinion that the principles announced in Stovall, Wade and Gilbert [Stovall v. Denno (1967), 388 U.S. 293 , 87 S. Ct. 1967 , 18 L. Ed. 2d 1991 ; United States v. Wade (1967), 388 U.S. 218 , 87 S. Ct. 1926 , 18 L. Ed. 2d 1149 ; and Gilbert v. California (1967), 388 U.S. 263 , 87 S. Ct. 1651 , 18 L. Ed. 2d 1178 ] would not have been violated. Indeed, in our opinion poKce officers who failed, in circumstances like these, to determine at once whether or not the victim of the crime could identify the men in custody as the men who had committed the crime, would be subject to criticism. Many decisions of other courts support our conclusion that no rights of the defendants were violated by the identification procedure used in this case.” 46 Ill. 2d 82, 87 .”
