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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Given the Commonwealth’s position at the time of the direct appeal from the judgment of sentence that a collateral proceeding was necessary, and given this Court’s pre- Dancer posture on deciding issues of ineffective assistance of counsel on direct appeal, there is too great a possibility for injustice if we hold that our per curiam affirmance was a “final litigation” of the appellant’s ground for relief — ineffective assistance of counsel, (footnote omitted) 239 Pa.Super. 121 , 362 A.2d 324, 330 (1976).”
