Mistrial • Suppression of Evidence • Search and Seizure • Prosecutorial Misconduct
Commonwealth v. Baldwin, PICS Case No. 17-0572 (Pa. Super. April 10, 2017) Fitzgerald, J. (10 pages).
Common Pleas Court properly held that Municipal Court abused its discretion in granting defense counsel’s motion for a mistrial because the witness’s testimony did not violate the suppression order since the witness testified to evidence that preceded police involvement and the commonwealth did not commit any misconduct in eliciting that testimony. Affirmed.
