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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“First the hearing judge must determine whether the accused was entitled to counsel, and, if so, whether that right was recognized, and whether the identification procedure was impermissibly suggestive. . . . Next the hearing judge must determine the admissibility of the in-court identification. Commonwealth v. Jenkins, supra, 232 Pa.Super. at 527 , 335 A.2d at 465 (citations omitted).”
