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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“an unexplained delay in filing a PCHA petition is a factor to be considered in assessing the merits of the issues raised in the petition____ We should take care, then, to distinguish between finding a petitioner’s claims meritless based, in part, on delay in filing a PCHA petition, and dismissing a first PCHA petition without considering the claims raised therein____ The latter is inappropriate.”
