Commonwealth v. Cobbs

SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA MIDDLE DISTRICT
Sep 15, 2020

PER CURIAM

Petition for Allowance of Appeal from the Order of the Superior Court ORDER PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 15th day of September, 2020, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, rephrased for clarity, is:

Where a prisoner's constitutionally infirm life-without-parole sentence for murder committed while a minor formed the basis for a conviction of assault by a life prisoner under 18 Pa.C.S. §2704 committed as an adult, and the prisoner is re-sentenced to forty-years-to-life on the original murder conviction, is the Section 2704 conviction vitiated by such re-sentencing?
