Supreme Court of Pennsylvania June 17, 2013 (Commonwealth v. Fortenbaugh)

lead-opinion

OPINION

Justice EAKIN.

The Superior Court erred in this case when it overturned the jury verdict and vacated the judgment of sentence based on two references at trial to requests that the defendant take a polygraph test. Because we find the references were not prejudicial, we reverse the Superior Court’s order and remand for reinstatement of the trial court’s judgment of sentence.
