PENNSYLVANIA
Appellee

v.

KEITH E. FULMER

Appellant No. 717 EDA 2015

Appeal from the PCRA Order February 25, 2015
In the Court of Common Pleas of Chester County
Criminal Division at No(s): CP-15-CR-0002971-2008

BEFORE: DONOHUE, J., MUNDY, J., and MUSMANNO, J.

MEMORANDUM BY MUNDY, J.: FILED DECEMBER 29, 2015

Appellant, Keith E. Fulmer, appeals from the order entered February

25, 2015, dismissing his first petition filed pursuant to the Post Conviction

Relief Act, 42 Pa.C.S.A. §§ 9541-9546 (PCRA). After careful consideration,

we affirm based on the thorough and well-supported opinion of the

Honorable David F. Bortner.

The PCRA court has fully summarized the procedural history of this

case, which we adopt and need not restate here.1 PCRA Court Opinion,

2/25/15, at 1-2. On appeal, Appellant raises the following issues for our

review.
____________________________________________
1
Appellant and the PCRA court are compliant with Pennsylvania Rule of
Appellate Procedure 1925. In its Rule 1925(a) opinion the PCRA court
referenced its February 25, 2015 opinion that accompanied its dismissal
order as containing its reasons for denying Appellant relief.
J-S63028-15

I. Whether [the] trial court erred in dismissing
[Appellant’s] claim that the ten year mandatory
sentence pursuant 18 Pa. C.S.A. Section 9718(a)(1)
was unconstitutional by ruling that his claim cannot
be applied retroactively as this claim was not
pending during his direct appeal?

II. Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

A. Whether appellate counsel, who also
served as trial counsel, rendered ineffective
assistance for failing to properly present,
litigate, preserve, and raise on direct appeal,
the trial court’s ruling to exclude evidence that
the complainant, A.G., was engaged in sexual
conduct with [Appellant’s] son as admissible to
support the complainant’s motive to testify
falsely regarding the alleged sexual contact
with [Appellant].

B. Whether trial counsel/appellate counsel,
rendered ineffective assistance in his handling
of a prosecution witness for (a) failing to object
to the testimony of the mother of
complainant’s friend who stated that the
complainant was “honest,” as an attempt to
improperly bolster the credibility of the
complainant (b) failing to cross-examine the
witness regarding a motive for the
complainant’s accusations and (c) trial
counsel’s failure to cross-examine the witness
regarding her knowledge of criminal
investigation into a crime committed by the
complainant?

C. Whether trial counsel/appellate counsel
rendered ineffective assistance for failing to
properly object to hearsay statements and/or
raise on direct appeal several inadmissible
hearsay statements?

(1) Whether trial counsel/appellate
counsel rendered ineffective assistance
for failing to argue on appeal the

-2-
J-S63028-15

objection raised regarding the excited
utterance by the complainant to her
father regarding an alleged attempt by
petitioner to bribe her to change her
story?

(2) Whether trial counsel/appellate
counsel was ineffective for failing to raise
on appeal the admission of hearsay
evidence.

D. Whether trial counsel rendered
ineffective assistance of counsel for failing to
request an alibi instruction after presenting
several witnesses that provided alibi testimony
regarding one of only two alleged sexual
encounters with Appellant that specified a
date, time and location?

E. Whether trial counsel rendered
ineffective assistance for failing to file a bill of
particulars requiring the Commonwealth to
establish on or around which dates/ months
the specific charges attached[?] Failure to
request the specific information left too much
speculation for the jury to consider evidence
which covered an eight month period of time?

F. Whether trial counsel rendered
ineffective assistance for failing to request a
jury instruction that the Commonwealth had to
prove lack of consent with respect to the
charge of involuntary deviate sexual
intercourse?

G. Whether trial counsel/appellate counsel
rendered ineffective assistance for failing to
question the defense witnesses regarding the
lack of veracity or truthfulness of the
complainant?

H. Whether trial counsel rendered
ineffective assistance for failing to properly
present available evidence to refute the

-3-
J-S63028-15

prosecutor’s characterization of the
circumstances within [Appellant’s] home at
during [sic] the time period of the alleged
crimes?

III. Newly discovered evidence

A. Whether a new trial is warranted based
on the newly discovered evidence that the
complainant had been sexually involved with
[Appellant’s] son during the same time period
which the Commonwealth alleges petitioner
was sexually abusing the complainant?

Appellant’s Brief at 8-10.

We address these issues according to the following standards.

Our standard of review of the denial of a PCRA
petition is limited to examining whether the court’s
rulings are supported by the evidence of record and
free of legal error. This Court treats the findings of
the PCRA court with deference if the record supports
those findings. It is an appellant’s burden to
persuade this Court that the PCRA court erred and
that relief is due.

Commonwealth v. Feliciano, 69 A.3d 1270, 1274-1275 (Pa. Super. 2013)

(citation omitted).

[Our] scope of review is limited to the findings of the
PCRA court and the evidence of record, viewed in the
light most favorable to the prevailing party at the
PCRA court level. The PCRA court’s credibility
determinations, when supported by the record, are
binding on this Court. However, this Court applies a
de novo standard of review to the PCRA court’s legal
conclusions.

Commonwealth v. Medina, 92 A.3d 1210, 1214-1215 (Pa. Super. 2014)

(en banc) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted), appeal granted,

-4-
J-S63028-15

105 A.3d 658 (Pa. 2014). Additionally, in order to be eligible for PCRA relief,

a petitioner must plead and prove by a preponderance of the evidence that

his conviction or sentence arose from one or more of the errors listed at 42

Pa.C.S.A. § 9543(a)(2). These issues must be neither previously litigated

nor waived. Id. at § 9543(a)(3).

When reviewing a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, we apply

the following test, first articulated by our Supreme Court in Commonwealth

v. Pierce, 527 A.2d 973 (Pa. 1987).

When considering such a claim, courts
presume that counsel was effective, and place upon
the appellant the burden of proving otherwise.
Counsel cannot be found ineffective for failure to
assert a baseless claim.

To succeed on a claim that counsel was
ineffective, Appellant must demonstrate that: (1) the
claim is of arguable merit; (2) counsel had no
reasonable strategic basis for his or her action or
inaction; and (3) counsel’s ineffectiveness prejudiced
him.

…

[T]o demonstrate prejudice, appellant must
show there is a reasonable probability that, but for
counsel’s error, the outcome of the proceeding would
have been different.

Commonwealth v. Michaud, 70 A.3d 862, 867 (Pa. Super. 2013) (internal

quotation marks and citations omitted). “Failure to establish any prong of

the test will defeat an ineffectiveness claim.” Commonwealth v.

Birdsong, 24 A.3d 319, 330 (Pa. 2011).

-5-
J-S63028-15

After a thorough review of the record, the PCRA petition and

proceedings, we conclude the PCRA court has comprehensively addressed

the merits of each of Appellant’s issues and found them wanting. We

perceive that the PCRA court has, where appropriate, made findings of fact,

that the record supports, to which we defer. See Feliciano, supra. We

further observe that the PCRA court has accurately stated the relevant law

and standards of proof relative to Appellant’s issues and properly applied

them to the facts of this case. We conclude the reasoning expressed by the

PCRA court in its February 25, 2015 opinion reflects our own.

Specifically, as to issue II. A., we agree that Appellant failed to

establish ineffective assistance of counsel for trial and appellate counsel’s

purported failure to develop and preserve an issue relating to the victim’s

alleged sexual conduct with Appellant’s son because counsel had a

reasonable strategic reason for his conduct of the case. PCRA Court Opinion,

2/25/15, at 4-6.

As to issue II. B., we agree Appellant failed to establish ineffective

assistance of counsel for trial counsel’s purported failure to object to a

witness’ improper bolstering of victim’s credibility. Id. at 7. The comment

was not solicited by the Commonwealth, was fleeting, and resulted in no

undue prejudice. Id.

As to issue II C, (1) and (2), we agree Appellant failed to establish

ineffective assistance of counsel for trial counsel’s purported failure to object

-6-
J-S63028-15

to purported hearsay statements. Id. at 8-9. The statements were either

not hearsay or subject to a hearsay exception. Id.

As to Issue II. D., we share the PCRA court’s conclusion that Appellant

failed to establish ineffective assistance of counsel for trial counsel’s

purported failure to request an alibi instruction. Id. at 10-13. Appellant’s

alibi evidence was incomplete, and the instruction was not warranted. Id.

Accordingly, Appellant was not prejudiced.

As to issue II. E., we are in accord with the PCRA court that Appellant

failed to establish ineffective assistance of counsel for trial counsel’s failure

to request a bill of particulars to require the Commonwealth to more

specifically identify the dates of the offenses. Id. at 14-15. When a course

of conduct against a minor victim is alleged, reasonable flexibility is afforded

the Commonwealth, which was not abused in this case. Id.

As to Issue II. F., we are of the same opinion as the PCRA court that

Appellant failed to establish ineffective assistance of counsel for trial

counsel’s failure to request a lack of consent charge where Appellant denied

the offending contact occurred. Id. at 16.

As to issue II. G., we agree Appellant failed to establish ineffective

assistance of counsel for trial counsel’s failure to present witnesses attacking

complainant’s veracity. Id. at 17. The proffered witnesses speak to specific

instances not reputation, and their testimony would not be admissible for the

-7-
J-S63028-15

purpose advanced. Additionally, Appellant has not shown how he was

prejudiced. Id.

As to issue II. H., we concur that Appellant failed to establish

ineffective assistance of counsel for trial counsel’s failure to present a

refutation of the home circumstances at the time of the crimes. Id. at 18.

Appellant has not developed how such testimony would have altered the

result, hence no prejudice is shown. Id.

As to issue III. A., we share the PCRA court’s determination that

Appellant’s “newly discovered evidence” is merely inadmissible hearsay

regarding a matter of credibility and does not afford PCRA relief. Id. at 18-

20.

Finally, as to issue I., we conclude that Appellant’s legality of

sentencing claim based on Alleyne v. U.S., 133 S. Ct. 2151 (2013) and

Commonwealth v. Wolfe, 106 A.3d 800 (Pa. Super. 2014), appeal

granted, 121 A.3d 433 (Pa. 2015), is not subject to retroactive application

through the PCRA where Appellant’s judgment of sentence was final prior to

the decision in Alleyne. See Commonwealth v. Riggle, 119 A.3d 1058

(Pa. Super. 2015).

Accordingly, we adopt the February 25, 2015 opinion of the Honorable

David F. Bortner as our own for the purposes of our disposition of this

appeal. We conclude the PCRA court committed no error in determining

Appellant’s numerous issues were without merit. Accordingly, we affirm the

-8-
J-S63028-15

PCRA court’s February 25, 2015 order dismissing Appellant’s amended PCRA

petition.

Order affirmed.
