COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA Appellee v. JACK PAUL ANDERSON Appellant

CONCURRING STATEMENT BY STABILE, J.

NON-PRECEDENTIAL DECISION - SEE SUPERIOR COURT I.O.P. 65.37

Appeal from the PCRA Order entered August 9, 2019
In the Court of Common Pleas of Jefferson County
Criminal Division at No: CP-33-0000247-2018 BEFORE: STABILE, J., KUNSELMAN, J., and PELLEGRINI, J.^* CONCURRING STATEMENT BY STABILE, J.:

I agree with the Majority's analysis and conclusions. I write separately to note that the legality of a sentence can be, and generally is, challenged by defendants. Thus, to the extent that the Majority indicates that "it is up to the District Attorney" to appeal an illegal sentencing order, I would also add that an affected defendant can similarly challenge the legality of the sentencing order.
