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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Appellant’s claim of bias, i.e. that because the trial judge ‘solicited and received bribes’ in some cases, he had to convict without regard to guilt or innocence in other cases to ‘show *** that there is a real need for the bribe to obtain a favorable result,’ see Appellant’s Brief at 9, is wholly .unsubstantiated in the record before this Court on appeal. Appellant’s mere speculation is not sufficient. See Commonwealth v. Hewett, supra, 551 A.2d at 1083. Moreover, no ruling of the trial judge and no specific event or incident which occurred during the trial gave rise to any question as to the trial judge’s objectivity or to the propriety of his rulings. See id. at 1085. As appellant has been unable to establish actual prejudice resulting from the trial judge’s extrajudicial conduct, this claim fails.” (Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Shaw (1990), 398 Pa. Super. 341, 343 , 580 A.2d 1379,1381 .)”
