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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The charge remained the same, and it is apparent from the record that the error in date and court was the result of a simple clerical or typographical mistake.... While the statute [citation] requires rearraignment and a new plea on an amended information, it is well established that where the amendment relates only to minor changes it is not mandatory. [Citations.] Here the timely correction of the mistake did not change the nature of the offense charged, only the date [citations] and place of the conviction [citations].”
