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

1. ““The admissibility of evidence is a matter addressed solely to the discretion of the trial court and may be reversed only upon a showing that the court abused its discretion.” Commonwealth v. Marshall, 743 A.2d 489, 492 (Pa.Super.1999), appeal denied, 563 Pa. 613 , 757 A.2d 930 (2000) (citation omitted). “Thus our standard of review is very narrow.... To constitute reversible error, an evi-dentiary ruling must not only be erroneous, but also harmful or prejudicial to the complaining party.” McManamon v. Washko, 906 A.2d 1259, 1268-1269 (Pa.Super.2006), appeal denied, 591 Pa. 736 , 921 A.2d 497 (2007) (citations omitted).”

2. “No witness can be contradicted on everything he testifies to in order to “test his credibility.” The pivotal issues in a trial cannot be “sidetracked” for the determination of whether or not a witness lied in making a statement about something which has no relationship to the case on trial.”
