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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Act of 1937 (providing for automatic aggregation of consecutive sentences) was merely suspended by Pa.R. Crim.P. 1415(c). When Pa.R.Crim.P. 1406(b), as originally promulgated, was deleted in 1974 (sic) and 18 Pa.C.S. § 1356 was enacted, there resulted a gap with regard to maximum sentences as no mention thereof is made in 18 Pa.C.S. § 1357. We conclude, therefore, that in 1974, the Act of 1937, insofar as it results in an aggregation of maximum sentences was revived.”
