The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. “"Our statutory protection of this right, section 103 — 5, states that the time period during which an accused must be tried tolls during the period when he is unfit to stand trial. George Cole was found unfit. While clearly improper, the fact that a review hearing was not held on schedule does not, with respect to section 103 — 5, disturb the presumption of defendant’s continuing unfitness. Therefore, the 120-day period provided by section 103 — 5 did not resume until defendant was found fit to stand trial on January 7, 1977.” People v. Cole, 66 Ill. App. 3d at 212 .”
