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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"defendant's presence in the automobile of the woman who attempted to make use of the forged prescription, together with his actions in attempting to dispose of the partially completed prescription forms, are indicative of his complicity in the scheme to obtain a controlled substance by the use of a forged prescription. However, lacking is evidence establishing that he 'knowingly made a document apparently capable of defrauding another' in Madison County, Illinois. Absent, also, is any charge that he took part in the attempt to deliver such document." Id. at 248 , 46 Ill.Dec. 698 , 414 N.E.2d 751 .”

Johnson“"The only evidence concerning the delivery of a forged document is that a woman [not the defendant] presented a prescription to Mr. Kube in Reese's Drug Store in Madison County, Illinois. Thus, the inference could not be drawn that the prescription was made in Madison County by defendant because it was ultimately delivered in the county by him." Id. at 247, 46 Ill.Dec. 698 , 414 N.E.2d 751 .”
