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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘[t]he risk is obvious: if the court denied the extension after the period has run, the Commonwealth is prevented from bringing the accused to trial. If the petition is denied promptly, the Commonwealth may nonetheless be able to try the accused within the period. Because we conclude that the extension was properly granted and because the court’s inaction engendered no additional delay, ..., we do not need to address the issue further.’ ” Commonwealth v. Metzger, 249 Pa.Super. 107, 110, n.2 , 375 A.2d 781 , 783 n.2 (1977) (quoting Commonwealth v. Mancuso, 247 Pa.Super. 245 , 250 n.3, 372 A.2d 444 , 446 n.3 (1977)).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“defense-requested continuances may realistically obstruct diligent efforts by the Commonwealth to try an accused and may, therefore, justify an extension under Rule 1100(c).”
