Commonwealth v. Mount

Opinion by

Mr. Justice Boberts,

We must here decide whether our mandate in appellant’s prior collateral attack was adequately followed. Our review of the record of the hearing on remand indicates substantial misunderstanding existed on the part of the hearing court as to the exact scope of its inquiry. While we are reluctant to remand the case yet again, we can see no other alternative.

The facts surrounding appellant’s conviction of murder in the first degree have been set forth in detail elsewhere and only will be duplicated here to the limited extent necessary for deciding this appeal.1
