4 canonical passages across 4 cases, quoted by 34 opinions in total. These passages cluster together because the same opinions keep quoting them side by side: they state parts of one doctrine. The anchor passage is from People v. Rivera.
| # | Case | Flag | Canonical passage | Citers |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 3 | People v. Poston | green | “court did not err in refraining from delivering such a charge sua sponte, as this would have improperly interfered with defense counsel's strategy” | 3 |
