The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““The test is whether accepting as true all of the evidence, direct or circumstantial, and all reasonable inferences therefrom upon which, if believed, the jury could, properly have based its verdict, it is sufficient in law to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty of the crime with which he has been charged.” Commonwealth v. Mangini, 478 Pa. 147, 152 , 386 A.2d 482, 484-85 (1978).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Evidence is admissible in rebuttal to contradict that offered by a defendant or his witnesses, even though by doing so the Commonwealth supplies previous omissions from its case in chief ... We have previously stated that the order of presentation of evidence is a matter of sound discretion for the trial court.” (Citations omitted.)”
