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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]his testimony is prejudicial evidence as trial counsel argued. In today’s society, members of gangs are not regarded as model citizens. There is an inherent connotation that a gang member is involved in .criminal activity. The fact that the defendant.was a gang member could have, and probably did, create an image of a bad person in the eyes of the jury. While a defendant’s gang membership may be probative under certain conditions, whether this defendant was a member of a gang was.,not relevant to any of the essential elements of this armed robbery. See U.S. v. Lewis, 910 F.2d 1367, 1372 (7th Cir.1990), and examples cited therein. Thus, it was error for the trial court to allow the testimony.”
