Pennsylvania v. Parrish (majority)
Annotate this CaseIn a direct appeal, appellant Michael Parrish appealed two death sentences he received after a jury found him guilty for the shooting deaths of his girlfriend Victoria Adams and their 19-month-old son Sidney. Based upon its thorough review of the record, the Supreme Court concluded the evidence was fully sufficient to sustain both of Appellant’s first-degree murder convictions and death sentences: Appellant confessed to killing both Victoria and Sidney, and, on the night of the incident, Appellant was witnessed at the crime scene with a gun; multiple individuals heard gunshots coming from Appellant’s apartment; Appellant fired his gun at Adams, Ahern, and Ramos; and a .357 Glock semi-automatic handgun was recovered during Appellant’s arrest that matched the thirteen .357 shell casings found at the crime scene.
