NON-PRECEDENTIAL DECISION – SEE SUPERIOR COURT I.O.P 65.37 COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA : IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF : PENNSYLVANIA Appellee : : v. : : THOMAS KEITH PARK : : Appellant : : No. 1116 WDA 2018 Appeal from the Judgment Entered July 12, 2018 in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County Criminal Division at No(s): CP-02-CR-0013714-2001 BEFORE: SHOGAN, J., MURRAY, J., AND STRASSBURGER, J.* CONCURRING STATEMENT BY STRASSBURGER, J.: FILED AUGUST 31, 2020 I join the learned Majority in its analysis of Appellant’s first issue on appeal. For the reasons stated by the Majority, the revocation court did not abuse its discretion in imposing a confinement sentence. With regard to Appellant’s second issue, the length of sentence, had I been sitting as the revocation judge, I would not have issued such a harsh sentence. But the standard of review is not “what would I have done?” The standard is abuse of discretion and I cannot conclude that the revocation court abused its discretion.

* Retired Senior Judge assigned to the Superior Court.
