Commonwealth v. Williams
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
BECK, Judge:
Gary Williams was tried by a jury and convicted of three offenses: loitering and prowling 1 disorderly conduct 2 , and open lewdness. 3 On appeal from his judgment of sentence, he argues that the evidence adduced at trial was insufficient to sustain the jury’s verdict as to each of these crimes. After careful consideration, we conclude that the evidence is insufficient to support the conviction for open lewdness and for disorderly conduct, but that the evidence is sufficient to support the conviction for loitering and prowling.
