Commonwealth v. Nieves
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
KELLY, Judge:
Appellant raises ten separate challenges to judgment of sentence imposed upon convictions arising from his knife point sexual assault of a 12 year old girl. Significant issues are raised regarding privacy claims pertaining to medical records subpoenaed in criminal trials, admissibility of gonorrhea results under the business records exception to the hearsay rule, and the proper application of the Rape Shield statute. We find no merit in any of the claims raised, and affirm judgment of sentence. We also deny allowance of appeal of discretionary aspects of sentence.
