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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A confession is defined as `a complete and express acknowledgement of the crime charged' ( People v. Morse (1969) 70 Cal.2d 711 , 721 ...), a statement in which the defendant `disclos[es] his guilt of the charged offense and which exclud[es] the possibility of a reasonable inference to the contrary.' ( People v. Jones (1965) 237 Cal. App.2d 499 , 502 ...; People v. Beverly (1965) 233 Cal. App.2d 702, 712-713 ....) However, when the statement contains facts which amount to a claim of mitigation, justification or excuse, it is an admission rather than a confession. ( People v. Fowler (1918) 178 Cal. 657 , 664-665 ...; People v. Luzovich (1932) 127 Cal. App. 465, 469 ....) In both Fowler and Luzovich , the defendants admitted having committed a homicide, but each claimed that their actions were done in self-defense. The statements were held to be admissions.”
