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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While the Commonwealth’s good faith certification under Rule 311(d) is entitled to some deference, this Court need not accept its good faith certification in every case. In White [II], for example, an evenly divided Supreme Court could not agree whether an order denying a recusal motion substantially handicapped the Commonwealth’s prosecution. The divided opinion left standing this Court’s opinion that the denial of a recusal motion was not appealable pursuant to Rule 311(d).”
