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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Assuming that the revised 180 day period was to expire on April 13, 1981 {see footnote 3), and that the Commonwealth waited until June to file for his extradition even though the appellant may have been “available” earlier, this entire period shall be charged to the appellant. “It is obvious that in many cases the defendant, by his unavailability, can occasion a delay which is much greater than the actual time of his unavailability. The rule charges this delay to the defendant.” Commonwealth v. Perry, 296 Pa.Super. 359, 362 , 442 A.2d 808, 810 (1982). See also Commonwealth v. Colon, 317 Pa.Super. 412 , 464 A.2d 388 (1983).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Where a defendant undertakes to accept the status of bail during the pendency of court proceedings he assumes the responsibility of making himself available for any court appearances required of him.... To focus solely upon the conduct of the Commonwealth not only ignores the defendant’s dereliction of an obligation, but also places him in the position of possibly benefiting from his own wrongdoing.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Where the defendant is on bail and has notice of his obligation to appear and fails to do so, a concept of due diligence in apprehending the fugitive is misplaced in a speedy trial analysis.”
