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.
“When it appears from the evidence that an informer is a material witness on the issue of the defendant's guilt, the informer's identity may be helpful to the defendant and nondisclosure would deprive him of a fair trial. ( Honore v. Superior Court, 70 Cal.2d 162, 167 ....) The People must either disclose the informer's identity or incur a dismissal. ( People v. Garcia, 67 Cal.2d 830 , 836 ...; People v. McShann, 50 Cal.2d 802, 808 ....)”
