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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As to whether [relator’s] plea was knowingly and intelligently entered, the hearing court did not find [relator’s] testimony on this issue credible. The hearing record fully justifies this conclusion; [relator] has therefore failed to carry his burden of proof.” Com. v. Coleman, 430 Pa. 438 , 243 A.2d 328 (1968).”
