Pennsylvania v. Perry (majority)
Annotate this CaseThe Supreme Court granted discretionary review of a superior court order that vacated a sentence imposed on Appellee Shawney Perry who was originally indicted for carrying a firearm without a license. The issue before the Court was whether the superior court misapplied the Supreme Court's directive set forth in "Commonwealth v. Walls," 926 A.2d 957 (2007) concerning the appellate review of sentences. Upon review, the Supreme Court held that the superior court failed to give sufficient deference to the sentencing court's imposition of sentence. Accordingly, the Court vacated the superior court's order and remanded the case back to that court for a reexamination of Appellee's judgment of sentence.
