Commonwealth v. Swain
Superior Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
Cercone, J.,
In this appeal, from his conviction of robbery and conspiracy, appellant attempts to raise two issues. Unfortunately, appellant failed to file post-verdict motions in the court below; and, therefore, we are precluded from considering his issues. See Commonwealth v. Blair, 460 Pa. 31, 331 A.2d. 213 (1975); Commonwealth v. Coleman, 458 Pa. 324 (1974). However, we cannot determine with certainty, from the state of the record before us, whether appellant’s failure to file post-verdict motions was an intentional and intelligent relinquishment of his right to file such motions.
