Anthony W. DeBernardo, Jr., Greensburg, for appellant.

Gregory A. Olson, Assistant District Attorney, Indiana, for Commonwealth, appellee.

Before BROSKY, DiSALLE and SHERTZ, JJ.


PER CURIAM:

Appellant, Charles Martin, was charged with, convicted by a jury of, and sentenced for the crimes of aggravated assault, 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 2702, and recklessly endangering another person, 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 2705. He appeals his convictions contending that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object or move for a mistrial when a Commonwealth witness testified that the appellant had said he would not take a lie detector test. We agree.
