Commonwealth, Aplt. v. Moore, J.

OPINION

Justice TODD.

In this appeal by allowance, we consider whether a conviction for possession of an instrument of crime (“PIC”) may be sustained when a defendant has been otherwise acquitted of related offenses involving the use of that instrument of crime, herein, a firearm. For the reasons that follow, we hold that a defendant’s conviction of PIC may indeed stand under such circumstances. Thus, we vacate the Superior Court’s order reversing Appellee James R. Moore’s PIC conviction, and remand to the trial court for reinstatement of Appellee’s judgment of sentence.
