Pennsylvania v. Pasture (majority)
Annotate this CaseIn a discretionary appeal, the issue this case presented for the Supreme Court's review centered on whether the Superior Court erred in making certain legal determinations leading it to vacate the judgment of sentence imposed upon Appellee Tyde Pasture following the revocation of his probation. Pasture sexually molested his live-in paramour’s daughter, beginning when she was nine years of age. Upon review, the Supreme Court concluded the Superior Court misapplied certain sentencing provisions, leading it to give insufficient deference to the revocation court’s imposition of the sentence following the revocation of Pasture’s probation. The Supreme Court vacated the Superior Court’s order and reinstated Pasture’s original judgment of sentence.
