Commonwealth v. Britton
506 A.2d 895; 509 Pa. 620; 1986 Pa. LEXIS 744
(Atlantic Reporter, Second Series)
Commonwealth v. Britton
Opinion of the Court
Appeal dismissed as having been improvidently granted.
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting.
Not only would I reach the merits of this appeal, but I would reverse the Appellant’s conviction and grant him a new trial. It is clear from the record that the trial judge exceeded his proper duty by his extensive interrogation of the Appellant. Commonwealth v. Myma, 278 Pa. 505, 123 A. 486 (1924). See Commonwealth v. Britton, 334 Pa.Super. 203, 222, 482 A.2d 1294, 1304 (1984) (dissenting opinion of Spaeth, P.J.).
