How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the Commonwealth made known its position to the trial court, which acknowledged it and thus had the opportunity to rule intelligently on the issue
• holding that the issue of whether the trial court sentenced the defendant as a juvenile outside of its statutory authority was barred because the Commonwealth conceded it at trial
• concluding Commonwealth made position known to trial court, thus providing it with an opportunity to rule on that position
• observing that Rule 5:25 is the \counterpart\ to Rule 5A:18
• noting also that Rule 5A:18’s ends-of-justice provision can apply if the complaining party demonstrates that it was “necessary to avoid a grave injustice or the denial of essential rights”
• “Because the Commonwealth did not . . . articulate an argument that the circuit court did not have the authority to impose a juvenile sentence upon [the appellant], the issue was not preserved for appeal.”
