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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In Commonwealth v. Sheehan, 446 Pa. 35 , 285 A.2d 465 (1971), the Supreme Court held that when a criminal sentence has been fully satisfied, a collateral attack upon the underlying conviction is not moot and can be considered if it is shown that the criminal sentence may directly affect any subsequent criminal prosecution or conviction. This rule was later extended to have application even if one could not show any criminal consequences, but could show actual or potential civil consequences. See: Commonwealth v. Rohde, 485 Pa. 404 , 402 A.2d 1025 (1979); Commonwealth v. Doria, 468 Pa. 534 , 364 A.2d 322 (1976). See also: Commonwealth v. Markley, 348 Pa.Super. 194 , 501 A.2d 1137 (1985).”
