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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Section 654 precludes multiple punishment for a single act or for a course of conduct comprising indivisible acts. `Whether a course of criminal conduct is divisible ... depends on the intent and objective of the actor.' [Citations.] `[I]f all the offenses were merely incidental to, or were the means of accomplishing or facilitating one objective, defendant may be found to have harbored a single intent and therefore may be punished only once.' [Citation.]”
