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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When an appellant raising the ineffectiveness of trial counsel is represented by appointed counsel from the same office that represented him at trial, the proper procedure is to remand for the appointment of new counsel not associated with trial counsel. Commonwealth v. Patrick, 477 Pa. 284 , 388 A.2d 935 (1978); Commonwealth v. Wright, 473 Pa. 395 , 374 A.2d 1272 (1977); Commonwealth v. Crowther, 241 Pa.Super. 446 , 361 A.2d 861 (1976) (SPAETH, J. concurring opinion). Appellant may, however, choose to retain his counsel provided he is made aware of the dangers and possible disadvantages of proceeding with counsel whom he asserts is ineffective. Therefore, on remand, the court should inform appellant of the facts necessary to ensure that his decision is an intelligent one, voluntarily made. Commonwealth v. Gardner, 480 Pa. 7 , 389 A.2d 58 (1978); Commonwealth v. Roach, 268 Pa.Super. 340 , 408 A.2d 495 (1979).”
