Commonwealth v. Thomas

LARSEN, Justice,

dissenting.

I dissent. As this Court held in Commonwealth v. Bennett, 512 Pa. 525, 517 A.2d 1248 (1986), the courts of this Commonwealth are not required to read the Rules of Criminal Procedure to convicted criminals at the time of sentencing. Accordingly, I would reverse that part of the order of Superior Court which remanded for an evidentiary hearing on the denial of the opportunity for allocution at sentencing.
