Commonwealth v. Bowen

How courts have described this case

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

• stating that the utilization of a sentencing enhancement concerns the trial court’s application of the sentencing guidelines, and therefore implicates the discretionary aspects of a defendant’s sentence
• concluding the deadly weapon possessed enhancement should have been imposed because the defendant, while not possessing a firearm, had the firearm within his immediate physical control where his two accomplices had firearms and defendant had ready access to possessing it
• trial court’s refusal to apply deadly weapon enhancement raised a substantial question for review
• “the robbery here was found to be committed at gunpoint and as such would seem squarely to fall within the definition of section 3701(a)(1)(ii) as a first[-]degree felony”
