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.
““The trial court refused to rule on the pretrial motion when it was argued to trial, but instead reserved rulings until the evidence was offered during the trial. * * * Thus counsel was required to prepare his defense and conduct the trial not knowing whether this crucial bit of evidence was to be admitted. The motion should have been ruled on prior to trial. See People v. Pugh, 133 Ill.App.2d 168 , 272 N.E.2d 742 .””
