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 141 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Officer Maclvor testified that at the conclusion of a preliminary hearing on October 30, 1979, defendant walked by him and the deputy district attorney conducting the hearing, turned toward the prosecutor and stated, “The hell with getting a cop. I’ll get me a D.A.” The record further suggests that there may have been some mention of the September 26 “Danny” threat in connection with a bail motion made at the conclusion of the preliminary hearing, perhaps thereby prompting defendant’s “D.A.” threat. The deputy district attorney testified that when defendant walked by, defendant glared at him and made a comment. All the district attorney could make out was “D.A.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Other-crimes evidence is admissible to prove the defendant's identity as the perpetrator of another alleged offense on the basis of similarity `when the marks common to the charged and uncharged offenses, considered singly or in combination, logically operate to set the charged and uncharged offenses apart from other crimes of the same general variety and, in so doing, tend to suggest that the perpetrator of the uncharged offenses was the perpetrator of the charged offenses.' ( People v. Haston (1968) 69 Cal.2d 233, 246 [ 70 Cal. Rptr. 419 , 444 P.2d 91 ].)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Even assuming for ■ sake of argument that defendant’s companion fired the shots, we do not find defendant’s own gun use so separate from the actual shootings that prejudice could be inferred from the court’s failure to more fully instruct [regarding gun use].”
