Indictment charging defendant with assault and battery. Before SALUS, JR., J., without a jury. Appeal, No. 220, Oct. T., 1974, from judgment of sentence of Court of Common Pleas, Trial Division, of Philadelphia, Aug. T., 1973, No. 826.
W. Bowe, with him John W. Packel, Assistant Defender, and Vincent J. Ziccardi, Defender, for appellant; James J. Wilson, Assistant District Attorney, with him Mark Sendrow and Steven H. Goldblatt, Assistant District Attorneys, Abraham J. Gafni, Deputy District Attorney, Richard A. Sprague, First Assistant District Attorney, and F. Emmett Fitzpatrick, District Attorney, for Commonwealth, appellee.
The conviction for simple assault and battery is affirmed but since the sentence of three years probation exceeds the statutory limit of two years (Act of June 24, 1939, P.L. 872, § 708, 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 4708, Appendix) the record is remanded for resentence.
