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.

““In any event, where as here, the State unnecessarily and presumably intentionally destroys the. alleged contraband without the defendant having opportunity for his own testing or the protection of court imposed safeguards to protect his rights, we agree with Taylor that the trial court commits reversible error in admitting evidence of the results of the State’s test.” Dodsworth, 60 Ill. App. 3d at 211 , 376 N.E.2d at 452 .”
