Commonwealth v. Losch

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

1Opinion of the Court

BECK, Judge:

This is an appeal by Eugene Altman Losch from a judgment of sentence entered on June 20, 1986 by the Court of Common Pleas of Perry County. The primary question presented is whether the court which resentenced appellant after his original judgment of sentence was vacated erred by refusing to consider appellant’s good conduct while in prison. We find that under the circumstances of this case, the court’s failure to consider evidence of good conduct was contrary to the mandate of the Sentencing Code. Accordingly, we must again vacate judgment of sentence and remand for resentencing.
