How courts have described this case

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

• explaining that if “the Commonwealth [is] unable to prove criminal intent because the defendant has met his burden regarding the cognitive incapacity aspect of the insanity defense, then the defendant must be adjudicated not guilty by reason of insanity”
• finding jurisdiction over an appeal pursuant to Rule 311(a)(6) after the Commonwealth erroneously appealed pursuant to Rule 311(d)
• “Pa.R.A.P. 311(d) has been limited to pre-trial rulings precisely because to hold otherwise would permit the Commonwealth to appeal mid-trial from adverse rulings entered by the trial court that might hamper the prosecution.”
