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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Levinson [Commonwealth v. Levinson, 239 Pa.Super. 387 , 362 A.2d 1080 ] did not hold, and we do not now hold, that a defendant’s right to challenge the composition of an investigating grand jury disappears upon submission of a presentment to an indicting grand jury. Where no statute, procedural rule or decision establishes a time limit for raising a particular objection, the rule is simply that the objection must be made within a reasonable time. Cf. Commonwealth v. Sills, 237 Pa.Super. 280 , 352 A.2d 539 (1975). The reasonableness of a delay in objecting must be determined on a case-by-case basis.””
