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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Rule 6013. Prompt Trial — Municipal Court (2) Trial in a Municipal Court case in which a preliminary arraignment is held after June 30, 1975, shall commence no later than 120 days from the date on which the preliminary arraignment is held. (c)(l)(i) At any time prior to the expiration of the period for commencement of trial, the attorney for the Commonwealth may apply to the court orally or in writing for an order extending the time for commencement of trial---- (iii) Such motion shall allege facts in support thereof, and shall be granted only upon findings based upon a record showing that trial cannot be commenced within the prescribed period despite due diligence by the Commonwealth and, if the delay is due to the Court’s inability to try the defendant within the prescribed period, upon findings based upon a record showing the causes of the delay and the reasons why the delay cannot be avoided.”

We are limited to the evidence presented at the Rule 6013 hearing and the findings of the trial court, and must view the evidence in a light most favorable to [the Commonwealth] as the prevailing part[y] below.”
