Commonwealth v. Schomaker

How courts have described this case

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

• prohibition against double jeopardy requires that defendant’s acquittal for conspiracy bar his retrial for theft by deception; such retrial would require relitigation of the same issues
• amendments simply amplifying allegations of the original complaint are not subject to the application of the statute of limitations
• where indictment seeks conviction upon a theory of intentional criminal conduct, the Commonwealth must confine its proof to that theory and a jury instruction permitting conviction upon a theory of recklessness is reversible error
