Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “We have decided in Commonwealth v. Robinson, 442 Pa. 512 , 515 n. 2, 276 A.2d 537 (1971), and Commonwealth v. Harris, 443 Pa. 279 , 278 A.2d 159 (1971), that when it is determined that a defendant has not been properly advised of his right of appeal from a judgment of first degree murder following a plea of guilty to murder generally, the proper practice is for the PCHA court to terminate the hearing and remand the case to the trial court to allow the petitioner to file posttrial motions. See also, Commonwealth v. Lowery, 438 Pa. 89 , 263 A.2d 332 (1970); Commonwealth v. Faison, 437 Pa. 432 , 436 n. 4, 264 A.2d 394 (1970).”
