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

““[W]here the defendant’s theory is that the prosecution’s witnesses are unbelievable, it is error not to allow cross-examination as to the witnesses’ bias, interest or motive to testify. [Citations.] The trial court has no discretionary power to deny the defendant the right to cross-examine the witness to show interest, bias, or motive.” Phillips, 95 Ill. App. 3d at 1020 , 420 N.E.2d at 842 .”

“Furthermore, when impeaching by showing bias, interest or motive, `the evidence used must give rise to the inference that the witness has something to gain or lose by his testimony' and, therefore, the evidence used must not be remote or uncertain.”
