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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The decision on a motion for a new trial rests largely in the sound discretion of the trial court, but the rule is more applicable to a motion made on the ground of newly discovered evidence. Ordinarily newly discovered evidence is looked upon with suspicion and disfavor. ( Estate of Cover, 188 Cal. 133 , 139 ...; Arnold v. Skaggs, 35 Cal. 684 ; Hicks v. Ocean Shore Railroad, Inc., 18 Cal.2d 773, 789 ....) The trial court's determination `will not be disturbed unless an abuse of discretion is clearly shown.' ( Maloof v. Maloof, 175 Cal. 571 , 574 ...; Stanley v. Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc., 35 Cal.2d 653 , 668 ...; People v. Williams, 57 Cal.2d 263, 270 ....)”
