Pennsylvania v. Staton (majority)
Annotate this CaseAppellant Andre Staton was convicted in 2006 for the first degree murder of his girlfriend, for which he received the death sentence. The sentence was affirmed on direct appeal, and he applied for collateral relief pursuant to the Post Conviction Relief Act (PCRA). The PCRA court denied the petition without a hearing, and appellant appealed that denial to the Supreme Court. Because the Supreme Court concluded the PCRA court's findings were supported by the record and that there were no reversible errors in that court's conclusions, the denial of post-conviction relief was affirmed.
