COM. v. TILLEY

780 A.2d 649 (2001)

COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Appellant, v. William TILLEY, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.

Decided September 26, 2001.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Hugh Burns, for Commonwealth of Pa.

Robert Brett Dunham, Ellen Berkowitz, Christina Allison Swarns, for William Tilley.

Before FLAHERTY, C.J., and ZAPPALA, CAPPY, CASTILLE, NIGRO, NEWMAN and SAYLOR, JJ.

OPINION

NIGRO, Justice.

At issue in this appeal is whether the PCRA1 court erred in ordering the Commonwealth to produce all data in its custody, including the prosecuting attorney's notes, related to the racial composition of the jury in Appellee William Tilley's murder trial. For the reasons that follow, we reverse.

Appellee was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death in 1987.
