Commonwealth v. Pytak
Superior Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
PRICE, Judge:
Appellant was tried before a jury and convicted on September 20, 1977, of kidnapping 1 and robbery. 2 He filed post-verdict motions for a new trial and in arrest of judgment, which were denied by the court en banc. He takes this appeal alleging that the trial court erred in failing to suppress items seized as a result of an illegal search and in failing to grant his motion for a mistrial following allegedly prejudicial testimony concerning identification from a photographic array. Since we find that these contentions lack merit, we affirm the judgment of sentence.
