Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Another reason why the point relative to the giving of and refusal to give certain instructions by the court has not been preserved is the failure of the defendant to include in his written motion for new trial the giving of or refusal 'to give the specific instructions complained of. (People v. Riggins, 13 Ill.2d 134 , 148 N.E.2d 450 .) Where a defendant has filed a written motion for a new trial and has not assigned as error in the written motion the specific instructions complained of, he is deemed to have waived error as to those instructions. (People v. Neukom, 16 Ill.2d 340 , 158 N.E.2d 53 .) We wül therefore not inquire whether the trial court erred in this respect.””
