Commonwealth v. Gaddy
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
POMEROY, Justice.
This is an appeal from the judgments of sentence imposed upon appellant, Henry R. Gaddy, following his conviction by a jury1 of murder in the first degree and aggravated robbery2 and the denial of his post-verdict motions.3 The charges arose from the robbery-murder of one Martin Dobkin in his small grocery store in the City of Philadelphia on January 7, 1972. Appellant contends that he is entitled to a new trial because of seven errors allegedly committed by the trial court during the course of his trial. We do not agree, and affirm the judgments of sentence.
