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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellant pled guilty, in 1975, to one count each of carrying a firearm without a license and altering or obliterating marks of identification thereon. He was sentenced to five years’ probation, with an alternate sentence of two and one-half to five years’ imprisonment. In 1976, following appellant’s conviction of an unrelated offense, his probation was revoked and he was sentenced to two to four years’ imprisonment. No direct appeal was taken. Appellant filed a petition under the Post-Conviction Hearing Act (PCHA), alleging the invalidity of his plea due to his lack of understanding of the alternate sentence. The court below denied the petition after a hearing.”
