Commonwealth v. Turner green
pa · 2013
2 sentences

2020Additionally, the Supreme Court stated: [W]e find that this Court’s ruling in Commonwealth v. Turner, which involved a PCRA petitioner and not a defendant presenting ineffectiveness claims in post-sentence motions, has no bearing on our decision.9 9 As noted, this Court in [Commonwealth v. Turner, 80 A.3d 754 (Pa. 2013)] held that the PCRA’s eligibility requirement that the petitioner be “serving a sentence of imprisonment, probation or parole” did not deny the petitioner due process where she was no longer in custody and had previous opportunities to present ineffectiveness claims.

2020The PCRA court denied the Commonwealth’s motion and found the eligibility requirement under Section 9543(a)(1)(i) unconstitutional as applied to the petitioner because it deprived her of “her due process right to a remedy arising from the alleged denial of the effective assistance of counsel.” Id. at 759 .
