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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Our Supreme Court recently reiterated the law regarding expungement of criminal records as follows: There is a long-standing right in this Commonwealth to petition for ex-pungement of a criminal arrest record, a right that is adjunct of due process. Carlacci v. Mazaleski, [ 568 Pa. 471 , 798 A.2d 186, 188 (Pa.2002) ].... Judicial analysis and evaluation of a petition to expunge depend upon the manner of disposition of the charges against the petitioner. When an individual has been convicted of the offenses charged, then expungement of criminal history records may be granted only under very limited circumstances that are set forth by statute. 18 Pa.C.S. § 9122; Hunt v. Pennsylvania State Police, 604 [603] Pa. 156, 983 A.2d 627, 633 (2009).”
