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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

The prosecutor in such circumstances owes the duty of not only protecting the defendant but also the judge from such prejudicial matter.” 376 Ill. 369 .”
