Commonwealth v. Frankhouser
Commonwealth v. Frankhouser
213 Pa. Super. 462; 249 A.2d 356; 1968 Pa. Super. LEXIS 792
Commonwealth v. Frankhouser
Dissenting Opinion
I respectfully dissent from the action of the majority in affirming the grant of a new trial in this case as a result of a post-conviction petition.
Discovery of the reputation of the minor subsequent to petitioner’s conviction on the charge of statutory rape does not meet the definition of after-discovered evidence as to justify a new trial. The other reasons stated in the petition are equally without merit.
