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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . The plea of guilty constitutes an admission of every element entering into the offense charged, and constitutes a conclusive admission of defendant’s guilt. (People v. Brown, supra [ 140 Cal.App. 616 ( 36 P.2d 194 )].)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The plea of guilty constitutes an admission of every element entering into the offense charged, and constitutes a conclusive admission of defendant's guilt. [Citation.] (3b) "A motion to withdraw a plea of guilty, pursuant to the provisions of section 1018 of the Penal Code [footnote omitted] is addressed to the sound discretion of the trial court, and in considering such a motion, the doctrines of `presumptive innocence' and `proof beyond a reasonable doubt' are inapplicable, since the defendant has already admitted his guilt by his plea of guilty.”
