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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Maybe [defendant] overreacted, committed reckless conduct is what he did, committing aggravated assault. Yeah he did that. But did he commit the armed robbery, did he commit armed violence? I don’t think so. I don’t think he did that. I don’t think it would be a fair verdict, either one of those in this case. Yes, he committed an aggravated assault, yes he committed a reckless conduct — a young foolish man did a young foolish thing. He didn’t intend to hurt that Harry Foreman.” ( 49 Ill. App. 3d at 706 .)”
