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.
““Unless the appellate court can say that the testimony is so obviously and inherently improbable as to leave the court no recourse without self-stultification, except to reverse the judgment, the reviewing court should not interfere with the verdict and the judgment of the trial court upon that ground. (People v. Antunez, 28 Cal.App. 740 [ 153 P. 963 ]; People v. Becker, 140 Cal.App. 162 [ 35 P.2d 196 ].) Such improbability must ‘plainly appear before the reviewing court should assume the functions of the trial jury’. (People v. Antunez, supra.) ‘ Contradictions and inconsistencies in the testimony of a witness alone will not constitute inherent improbability’ (People v. Amadio, 25 Cal.App. 729 [ 145 P. 151 ], and ‘it is not sufficient that the testimony may disclose circumstances which are unusual. ’ (People v. Collier, 111 Cal.App. 215, 226 [ 295 P. 898 ].)””
