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.
“The PCRA court granted one sentencing claim and denied all claims for a new trial. As a result, the PCRA court’s ... order ended collateral proceedings and called for a new sentencing proceeding, which is a trial court function, not a collateral .proceeding function. Therefore, the PCRA court’s order disposed of all of Appellant’s claims in his PCRA petition, terminating its role in the proceedings: Under a plain, straightforward application of Rule 910, the PCRA court’s order was a final one.”
