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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In Commonwealth v. Lord, 553 Pa. 415 , 719 A.2d 306 (1998), our Supreme Court held that if a defendant is directed to file a concise statement of matters to be raised on appeal, any issues not raised in that statement may not thereafter be raised on appeal. We have strictly adhered to the Supreme Court’s pronouncement. See Commonwealth v. Phinn, 761 A.2d 176 (Pa.Super.2000); Commonwealth v. Kimble, 756 A.2d 78 (Pa.Super.2000). Nonetheless, Anders requires that we examine the issues to determine their merit. Therefore, in order to rule upon counsel’s request to withdraw, we must examine the merits of the issue Appellant seeks to raise.”
