Commonwealth v. Cromwell
Opinion of the Court
AND NOW, this 26th day of August 2005, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The decision of the Superior Court is REVERSED pursuant to Commonwealth v. Halley, 870 A.2d 795 (Pa. 2005), due to prior counsels’ failure to file a Pa.R.A.P. 1925(b) statement, which resulted in a waiver of all of petitioner’s direct appeal claims. This matter is REMANDED to the PCRA court for reinstatement of petitioner’s direct appellate rights.
