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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Nor is it necessary, except in homicide eases, that the proceedings be taken down in shorthand and transcribed by a court reporter. (Pen. Code, § 869; People v. Williams, 129 Cal.App. 504 [ 19 P.2d 37 ].) . . . “Seemingly they (the defendants) were content to rely on the absence of a reporter’s transcript of the proceedings before the committing magistrate from the files of the superior court. As this was a case in which burglary, not homicide, was charged, the presence of a reporter was not required by law so the absence of a reporter’s transcript was not evidence supporting their contention that they had been committed without a preliminary examination. ’ ’”
