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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In a criminal action the sovereign has the same right to have the truth of its accusation against the defendant determined by a trial court, to the same extent and in the same degree as has the accused. (People v. Stoll, 143 Cal. 689, 696 [ 77 P. 818 ]; People v. Pruitt, 55 Cal.App.2d 272, 275 [ 130 P.2d 767 ]; People v. Borrego, 211 Cal. 759, 765 [ 297 P. 17 ].) It is as much a technical breach of the rules of procedure to deny the People a trial upon an information based upon such facts as might reasonably convince a jury of defendant’s guilt as it would be to convict a defendant upon the mere filing of an indictment. It is the duty of the magistrate to commit the accused ‘if it appears from the examination that a public offense has been committed. ’ The question of guilt is utterly one for the determination of the superior court. (Pen. Code, § 872.) ””

Misner“fraud may be committed by declaring to be true that which the declarant does not believe to be true; by suppressing a fact which he is bound to disclose; ... (Civ. Code, 1710; Wells v. Zenz, 83 Cal.App. 137, 140 [ 256 P. 484 ].) Moreover, any act fitted to deceive is actual fraud. (Civ. Code, 1572.)”
