Commonwealth v. Watts

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Decided September 23, 1983No. 3041PublishedCited by 16 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

CAVANAUGH, Judge:

Appellant Edward N. Watts was found guilty following a non-jury trial of possession of an instrument of crime, possession of a prohibited offensive weapon, and possession of a weapon by an inmate. Post-verdict motions were denied and appellant was sentenced to three concurrent terms of imprisonment of one to five years. He has raised four claims on appeal. The lower court’s opinion contains a thorough discussion of each of the claims raised by appellant and, with one exception, we feel that it is unnecessary to discuss the issues further.

We do wish to make one observation…
