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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) Except as provided in paragraph (D) [dealing with summary cases], a written post-sentence motion shall be filed no later than 10 days after imposition of sentence.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“As a practical matter, with very few exceptions (such as when the court grants bail pending appeal), a defendant begins to serve his or her sentence immediately after the pronouncement of sentence. The pronouncement of sentence is not merely informational. It is the actual imposition of penalty.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“docketing of a sentence is a ministerial act performed by the trial court's prothonotary or the clerk of courts and the trial court has little or no control over when a sentence is docketed.”
