Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Sally Frick, Pittsburgh, for appellant.

Susan Ruffner, Assistant District Attorney, Pittsburgh, for appellee.

Before CERCONE, President Judge, and WIEAND and HOFFMAN, JJ.


CERCONE, President Judge:

The instant appeal arises from the refusal of the lower court to dismiss appellants' indictments which led to appellants' trial a third time on the charges of illegal possession and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, heroin.1 Appellants claim the third trial will offend against their constitutional right not to be twice placed in jeopardy.
