Statutes the citing opinions construe

CA § Cal. Penal Code § 187 (6)

Counted by distinct opinions that both name this issue and are annotated to the section; sections every opinion cites regardless of issue are not filtered here, so read the counts against the total above.

Where else courts name it

CA 6 (2009–2013) TN 3 (1993–2002) MS 2 (1996–2005)

Opinions by the citing court's state. A doctrine retained in one state and abandoned in another shows up here as a year span that stalls.
