Peters v. Commonwealth

Opinion of the Court by

Justice SCHRODER.

James Peters appeals from his convictions of second-degree manslaughter, first- degree fleeing or evading, two misdemean- or convictions, and being a second-degree persistent felony offender. The convictions arise from a single-car crash wherein Appellant, allegedly under the influence of methamphetamine, lost control of his car while being pursued by police.
