COM. v. RAPP

253 Pa.Super. 31 (1978)

384 A.2d 961

COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania v. Gary RAPP, Appellant.

Superior Court of Pennsylvania.

Decided April 13, 1978.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Patrick J. Rega, Charleroi, Wm. Jon McCormick, Bentleyville, for appellant.

Samuel L. Rodgers, First Assistant District Attorney, Washington, Jess D. Costa, District Attorney, Bentleyville, for Commonwealth, appellee.

Before WATKINS, President Judge, and JACOBS, HOFFMAN, CERCONE, PRICE and SPAETH, JJ.

CERCONE, Judge:

This appeal arises from a conviction of violation of Section 6105 of the Pennsylvania Uniform Firearms Act1 which prohibits a person convicted of a violent crime from possessing a firearm. Appellant contends his conviction cannot stand in view of the Commonwealth's failure to prove the length of the barrel of the subject weapon. We agree and reverse.
