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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]his section shall not apply to murder or manslaughter or a violation of Section 451 or 452.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. People v. Lewis · People v. Wells“[I]n the first paragraph of Penal Code section 12022.7, the statute specifically mentions that enhancements apply to persons who `in the commission or attempted commission of a felony' inflict great bodily injury on other persons. Yet, in the third paragraph, where exempted crimes are listed, there is no specific exemption for attempts. This evidences an intent of the Legislature not to exclude attempted murder from the provisions of the section. It is obvious that the offense of murder involves the ultimate in infliction of great bodily injury, whereas attempted murder might involve no bodily injury at all. Thus, the legislation is grounded in a reasonable legislative purpose.”
