Commonwealth v. Williams
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION OF THE COURT
NEWMAN, Justice.
In this appeal, we must decide whether the Superior Court erred when it affirmed Gary Williams’ (Williams) judgment of sentence for controlled substance offenses because he did not provide the Superior Court with the complete trial court record from his case. Because the circumstances preventing timely transmission of the record are unclear, we reverse the Order of the Superior Court and remand this case to that court with instructions to remand this matter to the Court of Common Pleas for an evidentiary hearing.
