Hall v. Commonwealth
Annotate this CaseThe Supreme Court reversed in part the final judgment of the trial court convicting Defendant of three misdemeanors and four felonies and sentencing Defendant to a sentence totaling twenty years’ imprisonment and imposing $50 in fines together with court costs and court facility fees. The Court held (1) the trial court erred by imposing a $50 fine but not by imposing court costs, court facilities fee, and bond; (2) the trial court erred when it denied Defendant’s motion for directed verdict on the charge of first-degree theft by unlawful taking, over $500 but less than $10,000; (3) the jury instructions relating to Defendant’s charge of resisting arrest were erroneous, and the only remedy is to reverse the judgment on this charge and remand for further proceedings; and (4) the remainder of the judgment was not in error.
