Commonwealth v. Colpo
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
DEL SOLE, Judge:
The Appellant in this case was charged with one count of arson endangering persons and one count of arson endangering property following a fire which occurred in his home. He was tried by a jury and convicted of both charges. This appeal followed.
The first issue raised by Mr. Colpo is that the trial court erred in denying his pre-trial motions concerning a search warrant and his right to a speedy trial. To be preserved for appellate review an issue must be raised in post-trial motions, and these motions must be filed within ten days of the verdict. Commonwealth v. Gravely, 486…
