Commonwealth v. Parrish

3 Citing cases

  1. Commonwealth v. Parrish

    224 A.3d 682 (Pa. 2020)   Cited 65 times
    Holding appellant's Rule 1925(b) statement which vaguely challenged trial counsel's ineffectiveness was deficient where it "did not identify any specific legal error committed by the PCRA court in its rulings on the multifarious claims of trial counsel ineffectiveness presented in the amended PCRA petitions, nor did it even identify which of those rulings were being challenged on appeal. Rather, it generically and capaciously encompassed every conceivable claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel contained in the amended PCRA petitions. As such, it forced the PCRA court to guess which of its rulings were being challenged"
