The following excerpt is from People v. Ollo, 256 Cal.Rptr.3d 319, 42 Cal.App.5th 1152 (Cal. App. 2019):
murder, manslaughter, or arson as defined in sections 451 or 452. Were we to conclude that a victims voluntary ingestion of a drug furnished by another breaks the causal chain as a matter of law, we would effectively be adding the crime of furnishing controlled substances to subdivision (g)s list. This we cannot do. ( Navellier v. Sletten (2002) 29 Cal.4th 82, 92, 124 Cal.Rptr.2d 530, 52 P.3d 703 ["no court has the "power to rewrite [a] statute ..." "].)
