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.

“In Commonwealth v. Riggins, 474 Pa. 115 , 377 A.2d 140 (1977), the Supreme Court held that the trial court must state the reasons for its sentence on the record, as such a statement is ‘invaluable’ in determining ‘whether the sentence imposed was based upon accurate, sufficient and proper information.’ Id., 474 Pa. at 131 , 377 A.2d at 148 . In addition, the legislature has required a statement of reasons: ‘In every case in which the court imposes a sentence for a felony or misdemeanor, the court shall make as a part of the record, and disclose in open court at the time of sentence, a statement of the reason or reasons for the sentence imposed.’”
