Miranda Rights Waiver • Intoxication • Sufficiency of the Evidence

Commonwealth v. Roche, PICS Case No. 17-0063 (Pa. Super. Jan. 4, 2017) Stevens, P.J. (20 pages).

Trial court properly convicted appellant of two counts of first-degree murder and appellant’s challenge to the denial of his motion to suppress his statements to the police failed because the credible testimony of the officer who took appellant’s Miranda waiver showed that appellant was not impaired by alcohol and appellant waived his challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence by failing to specify the elements upon which the evidence was allegedly insufficient. Affirmed.
