The attorney for a youth who was adjudicated as delinquent for murders he allegedly committed at age 11 argued before the state Supreme Court that filing a post-dispositional motion was unnecessary for preserving an appeal based on the weight of the evidence.
Attorney Dennis Elisco of New Castle, Pa., who represented defendant Jordan Brown in In the Interest of J.B., argued during the high court’s oral argument session March 12 that the weight of the evidence issue had been properly preserved in both closing arguments and the Rule 1925(b) statement, and therefore the Superior Court’s decision to remand the juvenile murder case should stand.
