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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The credibility of all witnesses is in the exclusive province of the fact-finder, Commonwealth v. Barnosky, 264 Pa. Super. 443 , 400 A.2d 168 (1979), such that the weight to be accorded to each witness’ testimony and whether to believe all, part or none of the evidence is for the trier of fact, and is not to be disturbed unless the ‘evidence offered to support the verdict of guilty is so unreliable and/or contradictory as to make any verdict based thereon pure conjecture ... ’ Commonwealth v. Farquharson, 467 Pa. 50, 60 , 354 A.2d 545, 550 (1976).”
