Commonwealth v. Burns
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
DEL SOLE, Judge:
James Burns, Appellant, was convicted of seven counts of recklessly endangering another person, four counts of aggravated assault and one count of simple assault. Post-trial motions were filed and denied. Burns was sentenced to six to twenty years in prison. On appeal, Burns raises five issues.

We affirm the remainder of the judgment of sentence.
