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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When this matter was before us in 1961 we held that the question of petitioner’s right to counsel was moot. Following the return of this case it was reconsidered but we are of the same opin ion that there is no jurisdiction remaining over the petitioner or the subject matter of his petition. Since Garner was discharged from parole in November, 1960, we conclude that Pennsylvania jurisdiction over Garner and over his judgment' of sentence terminated at that time. Generally, where a sentence has been fully executed, the power of the court to modify or amend the sentence or to impose a new sentence is gone, whether or not the term has expired. * * * ” The judgment is affirmed.”
