Commonwealth v. Smith

WIEAND, Judge,

dissenting:

I respectfully dissent. I would hold that the reasons given for the trial court’s sentence sufficiently complied with the requirements of Pa.R.Crim.P. 1405(b) and Commonwealth v. Riggins, 474 Pa. 115, 377 A.2d 140 (1977). See Commonwealth v. Haggerty, 294 Pa.Super. 590, 440 A.2d 623 (1982); Commonwealth v. Bachert, 271 Pa.Super. 72, 412 A.2d 580 (1979). Therefore, I would affirm the judgment of sentence.
