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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]t is obvious from examination of the transcript . that no “hearing” was ever held. The Commonwealth . made no presentation whatsoever in support of its petition. Instead, the court summarily granted the extension petition based solely upon its own recollection of the victim’s hospitalization. Id., 264 Pa.Super. at 183 , 399 A.2d at 727 (footnote omitted).”
