Commonwealth v. Moore

Superior Court of Pennsylvania

Decided June 11, 1982No. 2964PublishedCited by 26 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

HOFFMAN, Judge:

Appellant contends that: (1) the lower court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence; (2) his prior counsel were ineffective in failing to seek suppression of a statement; and (3) the lower court erred in imposing multiple sentences for related offenses arising from the same episode. We find the suppression and ineffectiveness contentions meritless. Because we agree, however, that four of the sentences merged, we vacate the judgments of sentence for aggravated assault, theft, and recklessly endangering, and affirm those for robbery and conspiracy.
