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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “Pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 5917, the former testimony of a witness in a crimi nal proceeding who has since died is competent evidence admissible in a subsequent trial of the same criminal issue. See also Pa.R.E. 803.1. The Supreme Court has held, however, “that in order for a witness’s prior testimony to be admissible pursuant to Section 5917, the defendant against whom the testimony is to be admitted at a subsequent proceeding must have been afforded a full and fair opportunity to cross-examine the witness at the first proceeding.” Commonwealth v. Chmiel, [], 738 A.2d 406, 417 ([Pa.]1999), cert. denied, 528 U.S. 1131 , [] (2000) (emphasis added).”
