Commonwealth v. Davis

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Decided September 9, 1983No. 1766PublishedCited by 10 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

BROSKY, Judge:

This is a direct appeal from judgment of sentence imposed subsequent to convictions for knowing and intentional possession and delivery of a controlled substance. Appellant raises two issues for our review. First, he argues that the evidence was insufficient. Second, he contends that he was denied his Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel due to the lack of a pre-trial motion for the discovery of the identity and testimony of an informant. We find no merit in either of these arguments and, accordingly, affirm.
