Commonwealth v. Sinclair

HOFFMAN, Judge:

Appellant, incarcerated after revocation of probation, contends that the twenty-three month delay between the violation and the hearing violates due process.

The appellant pleaded guilty on May 14, 1970, to charges of aggravated robbery 1 and related offenses. Appellant had been incarcerated from the time of his arrest, and, by the time he appeared for sentencing on June 17, 1970, had already served 21 months in jail.…
