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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The distinction between principals in the first and second degrees, in cases of felony, has been abrogated, and all persons concerned in the commission of a felony, whether they directly commit the act constituting the offense or aid or abet its commission, may be prosecuted and punished as principals. The information in the present case contains sufficient allegations to charge the defendant (secs. 31 and 971, Pen. Code), and while he did not use the gun, appellant is properly prosecuted, tried and punished to the fullest extent for the acts of his accomplice which he aided and abetted; and whether the gun was used by him or by his accomplice would make no legal difference. (People v. Yeager, 194 Cal. 452, 460 [ 229 Pac. 40 ].)””
