Commonwealth v. Gilliam

WIEAND, Judge:

Richard V. Gilliam was tried by a jury and convicted of a criminal attempt to escape 1 and possession of implements for escape. 2 On appeal, he argues that the convictions should be set aside (1) because the evidence was insufficient, and (2) because of delay in the argument of post-trial motions. We find no merit in these arguments and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of sentence.

In assessing the sufficiency of the evidence, we must view the evidence and all reasonable inferences therefrom in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth. Commonwealth v. Williams, 269 Pa.Super.…
