Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

““. . . ‘The courts no longer follow the primitive rule that there must be resistance to the utmost. ’ (People v. McIlvain, 55 Cal.App.2d 322, 329 [ 130 P.2d 131 ].) ‘The resistance required in each case depends upon the circumstances of that case, such as the relative strength of the parties, the uselessness of resistance, the degree of force manifested and other factors. The resistance of the prosecutrix need only be such as to make nonconsent and actual resistance reasonably manifest.’ (People v. Burnette, 39 Cal.App.2d 215, 224 [ 102 P.2d 799 ]; People v. Lay, 66 Cal.App.2d 889, 892 [ 153 P.2d 379 ] ; People v. Pollock, 25 Cal.App.2d 440, 443 [ 77 P.2d 885 ]; People v. Norrington, 55 Cal.App. 103, 109 [ 202 P. 932 ].)” (See also, People v. Cassandras, 83 Cal.App.2d 272, 278 [ 188 P.2d 546 ] ; People v. Pollack, supra.)”
