Commonwealth v. Thompson

Appellant contends that the sentence imposed by the lower court was excessive. We cannot reach this issue, however, because this appeal is untimely.

Following a jury trial, appellant was convicted of aggravated assault. He did not file any post-verdict motions. On November 9, 1978, the lower court imposed sentence. On November 20, 1978, appellant filed a petition for modification of sentence. The lower court denied the petition on that date. * On December 15, 1978, appellant filed this appeal from that order.

This case is controlled by Commonwealth v. Wilkinson, 260 Pa.Super. 77, 393 A.2d 1020…
