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 128 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Our responsibility upon review is to determine whether the record supports the factual findings of the lower court and the legitimacy of the inferences and legal conclusions drawn therefrom. Commonwealth v. Bundy, 458 Pa. 240 , 328 A.2d 517 (1974); Commonwealth v. Stafford, 451 Pa. 95, 101 , 301 A.2d 600, 604 (1974). Furthermore, we are to consider only the evidence of the prosecution’s witnesses and that portion of the testimony offered by the defendant which is uncontradicted. See generally Commonwealth v. Goodwin, 460 Pa. 516 , 333 A.2d 892 (1975); Commonwealth v. Bundy, supra.” Commonwealth v. Boone, 467 Pa. 168, 173 , 354 A.2d 898, 900 (1975).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““ . . . [I] t is immaterial from a Futch doctrine standpoint that the interrogation continued after the [initial interview] period. Since the information obtained during the subsequent period was merely repetitious, the appellant was not prejudiced. Commonwealth v. Davis, 460 Pa. 644 , 334 A.2d 275 (1975); Commonwealth v. Rowe, 459 Pa. 163 , 327 A.2d 358 (1974). In absence of prejudice to the accused, there is no justification for the imposition of the exclusionary rule of Futch.” Commonwealth v. Boone, 467 Pa. 168, 177 , 354 A.2d 898, 902 (1975). (Footnote omitted).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““. . . It is clear that the judge confined this charge to the precise questions posed by the jury. After the instruction the court inquired of the jury whether the information supplied satisfied their request and they responded in the affirmative. As we noted in Commonwealth v. McNeil, 461 Pa. 709 , 337 A.2d 840 (1975), the trial court is not obligated to give further instructions beyond those requested by the jury. 8”
