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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“... substance, as used in [18 Pa.C.S.A. § 7508(a)(3)(ii) ], includes a mixture of cocaine and a matter other than cocaine. Hence, when § 7508(a)(3)(ii) refers to the weight of the substance, it is referring to the weight of the cocaine plus the matter that the cocaine is mixed with. * * * As mixture is encompassed in the definition of substance in § 7508(a)(3), then the word substance in § 7508(a)(3)(ii) clearly includes mixtures of cocaine and other matter. * * # * * * If cocaine is present in a mixture, the total weight of the mixture is used in a determination of whether a mandatory minimum sentence must be imposed.”
