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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“MR. GOODMAN: Your honor, if I could point out that Mr. Fitzgerald [appellant’s counsel] filed his petition for a continuance or a pass on October 27, and for a period between October 27 and November 14. The 180th day in this case was November 15, 1977. According to Mr. Fitzgerald’s calculation, that would give the Commonwealth exactly one day to get the case into a courtroom. THE COURT: Yes, which in our county is totally out of the question.”
