8 canonical passages across 7 cases, quoted by 240 opinions in total. These passages cluster together because the same opinions keep quoting them side by side: they state parts of one doctrine. The anchor passage is from People v. Deleon.
| # | Case | Flag | Canonical passage | Citers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | People v. Deleon Anchor | green | “a finding is against the manifest weight of the evidence only if the opposite conclusion is clearly evident or if the finding itself is unreasonable, arbitrary, or not based on the evidence presented.” | 142 |
| 2 | People v. Deleon | green | “under the manifest weight standard, we give deference to the trial court as the finder of fact because it is in the best position to observe the conduct and demeanor of the parties and witnesses.” | 33 |

| 4 | People v. Lopez | green | “just one factor to consider in determining whether the threat posed can be mitigated by conditions of release.” | 16 |
| 5 | People v. Heineman | green | “an abuse of discretion occurs where the circuit court's decision is arbitrary, unreasonable, or fanciful or where no reasonable person would have taken the position adopted by the circuit court.” | 14 |
| 6 | People v. Inman | green | “the act neither mandates nor suggests a different standard of review.” | 10 |
| 7 | People v. Drew | green | “allow a party to circumvent the rules and ignore the importance of first placing the argument before the trial court.” | 4 |
| 8 | People v. Jones | green | “a court's decisions regarding whether the state proved by clear and convincing evidence that release conditions would not protect the community is inextricably linked to any decision to grant or deny pretrial release.” | 3 |
