Description
The issue involved in this appeal is whether the Commonwealth may reprosecute the appellee, Alvie Donald McCane, for homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence following a mistrial on that charge, after a jury found appellee guilty of the offense of driving under the influence but was unable to reach a verdict on the charge of homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence. The trial court held that a retrial of appellee is barred by Pa.R.Crim.P. 1120(d). The Superior Court, in a memorandum decision by a panel (Beck, Popovich and Hoffman, JJ.), affirmed on the opinion of the lower court, 359 Pa. Super. 608, 515 A.2d 618. For the reasons that follow, we reverse.
