concurring.
I concur in the result because this claim was clearly waived under section 4(b), 42 Pa.C.S. § 9544(b). The entry of this plea was part of a plea negotiation that provided appellant with a very favorable result under the circumstances. The decision not to appeal from the judgment of sentence within the prescribed period, Pa.R.A.P. § 903, was a deliberate and knowing one. This was the lower court’s finding and it is supported by the record.
