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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he defendant erroneously argues that the test is ultimate loss rather than the amount of the money received by the accused. In People v. Hess [citation omitted], a case in which two persons agreed to pay $ 1,000 for a horse falsely represented to them to be pedigreed, and actually paid $550, the court stated . . . : “If the representation was knowingly made, the theft was of $550 and constituted grand theft. . . . Under no circumstance were appellants entitled to offset the actual value of the spurious animal used to accomplish the fraud against the sum obtained from the victims to reduce the crime to petty theft.””

Roche, Inc.“`If the victim is induced to part with money or property in exchange for other property fraudulently misrepresented, the crime is committed; it is not a defense that no permanent loss occurred; the victim is defrauded if he did not get what he bargained for, even though he may not have suffered a net financial loss.'”
