How have courts interpreted the meaning of the word "blade"?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Rosalio S., In re, 35 Cal.App.4th 775, 41 Cal.Rptr.2d 534 (Cal. App. 1995):

Assuming that "blade," as used in the statute, is susceptible to two reasonable interpretations, we properly move beyond the statutory language to use of extrinsic aids to determine legislative intent. (People v. Woodhead (1987) 43 Cal.3d 1002, 1008, 239 Cal.Rptr. 656, 741 P.2d 154.) These extrinsic aids can include "the ostensible objects to be achieved, the evils to be remedied, the legislative history, public policy, ... and the statutory scheme of which the statute is a part." (Ibid.)

As we shall explain, post, the most probative of these extrinsic aids in this instance is the statutory scheme.
