COM. v. LUCARELLI

No. 76 MAP 2007.

971 A.2d 1173 (2009)

COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Appellant v. Charles Joseph LUCARELLI, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.

Decided May 27, 2009.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gary Eugene Norton, Esq., Bloomsburg, for Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Joseph Raymond Viola, Esq., Padova, Lisi & Della Guardia, Philadelphia, for Charles Joseph Lucarelli.

BEFORE: CASTILLE, C.J., and SAYLOR, EAKIN, BAER, TODD and McCAFFERY, JJ.


OPINION

Justice McCAFFERY.

In this matter, we granted allowance of appeal to consider whether the Superior Court erred in its determination that Appellee, Charles Joseph Lucarelli, after engaging in a course of conduct spanning 8½ months, did not forfeit his right to counsel. We hold that it did and, therefore, reverse the Superior Court's order granting a new trial and remand to that court for further proceedings.
