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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In People v. Scott, 24 Cal.2d 774 [ 151 P.2d 517 ], it was said at pages 778 and 779: ‘As it now reads the statute [section 954] permits the joinder of different offenses, even though they do not relate to the same transaction or event, if there is a common element of substantial importance in their commission, for the joinder prevents repetition of evidence and saves time and expense to the state as well as to the defendant.’ In the present case a common element of substantial importance in the commission of the crimes charged in both informations was the use of the automobile. ’ ’”
