Commonwealth v. Casper

HOFFMAN, Judge:

Appellant contends that: 1) Insufficient evidence exists to support his conviction for “macing,” (demanding money for political purposes from employees of the Commonwealth); 2) insufficient evidence exists to support his convictions for conspiracy and criminal solicitation to “mace”; 3) the verdict of guilty of extortion is inconsistent with the verdicts of not guilty of conspiracy and solicitation to extort charged in the same indictment; and 4) the trial court erred in failing to grant his motion for severance of the indictments. We disagree and, accordingly, affirm.

On May…
