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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We do not understand that the extended term provisions of the Code were intended to transmogrify every offense into an extraordinary offense for the purpose of circumventing the limitations of section 5 — 8—1(a) (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 38, par. 1005 — 8—1(a)). (People v. Schlemm (1980), 82 Ill. App. 3d 639 , 402 N.E.2d 810 .) We deem the extended term inappropriate in this case and hold that the trial judge abused his discretion in imposing it. People v. Perruquet (1977), 68 Ill. 2d 149 , 368 N.E.2d 882 .” 90 Ill. App. 3d 707, 710 .”
