COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, Appellee v. TIMOTHY MATTHEW JACOBY, Appellant
[MO: Wecht, J.] Appeal from the Judgment of Sentence imposed on October 9, 2014 in the Court of Common Pleas, York County, Criminal Division at No. CP-67-CR-0006857 CONCURRING AND DISSENTING OPINION JUSTICE DONOHUE
I join the Majority's reasoning and disposition with respect to all of Jacoby's issues, except with respect to part VIII, on which I join in Chief Justice Saylor's Dissenting Opinion with respect to the denial of Jacoby's request for a Frye hearing on the subject of Y-STR DNA testing. For this reason, I would reverse the trial court's ruling.
