Opinion by

In the early morning of May 14, 1972, Herbert Riehl, while sitting in his car in Harrisburg, was shot and killed during the course of an apparent robbery attempt. Appellant, Tollie Watlington, and Thomas Epps were arrested and charged with murder. Appellant and co-defendant Epps were tried jointly before a jury and adjudged guilty of first degree murder. Both were sentenced to life imprisonment.

*526On this direct appeal, appellant challenges the trial court’s failure to give a cautionary instruction regarding the testimony of co-defendant Epps. Appellant argues that the jury should have been instructed to view this testimony, coming from a “corrupt source,” with extreme scrutiny. Cf. Commonwealth v. Sisak, 436 Pa. 262, 265, 259 A. 2d 428, 430 (1969).

However, since no objection was made below to the trial court’s charge,* that issue is not now properly before this Court. Pa. E. Crim. P. 1119(b) provides: “No portions of the charge nor omissions therefrom may be assigned as error, unless specific objections are made thereto before the jury retires to deliberate.” As we stated in Commonwealth v. Jennings, 442 Pa. 18, 24, 274 A. 2d 767, 770 (1971), “. . . appellant’s failure to take . . . specific exception to . . . the charge, as required by Pa. E. Crim. P. 1119(b), forecloses our consideration of this issue on appeal.” See also Commonwealth v. Sullivan, 450 Pa. 273, 275-76, 299 A. 2d 608, 609-10 (1973).

Since issues not raised at trial or in post-trial motions may not be raised for the first time on appeal, Commonwealth v. Agie, 449 Pa. 187, 296 A. 2d 741 (1972), appellant’s claim must be decided adversely to him.

Judgment of sentence affirmed.

Concurring Opinion by

I concur in the result for the reason that I believe there was no basic and fundamental error requiring the *527grant of a new trial. See Commonwealth v. Williams, 432 Pa. 557, 248 A. 2d 301 (1968) and iny concurring opinion in Commonwealth v. Sullivan, 450 Pa. 273, 281, 299 A. 2d 608-613 (1973).
