1Opinion of the Court

HOFFMAN, Judge:

This appeal is from the judgment of sentence for murder in the first degree, aggravated assault, unlawful restraint, criminal conspiracy, and violation of the Uniform Firearms Act, 18 Pa.C.S.A. §§ 6101-6120. Appellant contends that the trial court (1) erred in denying her motion to change venue, and (2) abused its discretion when sentencing her on the non-homicide charges. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the judgment of sentence for murder, we vacate the judgment of sentence for the remaining charges, and we remand the case for resentencing on the non-homicide charges.
