COMMONWEALTH v. REINHART

No. 6792/1988.

3 Pa. D. & C. 4th 134 (1989)

Commonwealth v. Reinhart

Common Pleas Court of Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

July 21, 1989.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Maggie Snow, assistant district attorney, for the commonwealth.

Theresa M. Mogavero, for defendant.


BIESTER, Jr., J., July 21, 1989.

Defendant was convicted of escape before this court in a non-jury trial on March 6, 1989.

We now hold that defendant was not in official detention and therefore grant defendant's motion in arrest of judgment.
