Superior Court 4/18/2008 - COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. LEKEYIA GRAHAME

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. LEKEYIA GRAHAME
No. 3288 EDA 2006 2008 PA Super 73 Atlantic: n/a Filed: 4/18/2008
Appeal from the Judgment of Sentence of November 9, 2006 in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Criminal, No. CP-51-CR-0511061-2006
Before: STEVENS, KLEIN and KELLY, JJ.
Opinion by: KLEIN, J.
Dissenting Opinion by: KELLY, J.
Lekeyia Grahame appeals from the judgment of sentence entered against her following a bench trial on September 29, 2006. Grahame was found guilty of simple possession and possession of drug paraphernalia and was sentenced to 4 years’ probation. Grahame argues that the trial court erred in denying her motion to suppress because there was no valid consent to search her pocketbook, and no exigent circumstances existed to justify a warrantless search. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm.
