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

“`[w]here the consolidation meets the test of joinder,' ... `the difficulty of showing prejudice from denial of severance is so great that the courts almost invariably reject the claim of abuse of discretion.'”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage
e.g. 36 Cal. 3d 441 - Williams v. Superior Court · 147 Cal. App. 4th 1492 - Alcala v. Superior Court
“`[t]he judge's discretion in refusing severance is broader than his discretion in admitting evidence of uncharged offenses.... In both cases the probative value of considering one alleged offense in light of another must be weighed against the prejudicial effect, but additional factors favor joinder.”
