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 49 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . Even on appeal, it appears, they would not have been cause for reversal. Joinder of distinct offenses is proper ‘if there is a common element of substantial importance in their commission.’ (People v. Scott (1944), 24 Cal.2d 774, 778 [ 151 P.2d 517 ].) The consolidation of a group of charges similar to those against petitioner was upheld in People v. Duane (1942), 21 Cal.2d 71, 74-77 [ 130 P.2d 123 ], where the ‘common element’ was a plan to rob managers of Safeway Stores. In any event, the question of consolidation or severance is procedural and not, as petitioner contends, jurisdictional.” (Italics added.)”

Bundte“accusatory pleading may charge two or more different offenses connected together in their commission, . . . and if two or more accusatory pleadings are filed in such cases in the same court, the court may order them to be consolidated . . . provided, that the court in which a case is triable, in the interests of justice and for good cause shown, may in its discretion order that the different offenses or counts set forth in the accusatory pleading be tried separately or divided into two or more groups and each of said groups tried separately. . . .”
