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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“does not dispense with the need to preserve challenges to the discretionary aspects of a sentence by means of ... a motion [for modification of sentence]. Although the new rule characterizes a motion to modify a sentence as “optional,” the rule plainly states that only issues which were presented to the trial court before or during trial shall be deemed preserved for appeal in the absence of a post-trial motion. The modifications to Rule 1410 have not altered the requirement of Rule of Appellate Procedure 302 which states that “[i]ssues not raised in the lower court are waived and cannot be raised for the first time on appeal.””
