| COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. DWAYNE BROWN No. 1053 MDA 2008 2009 PA Super 69 Atlantic: 972 A.2d 529 Filed: 4/15/2009 | |
| Appeal from the PCRA Order of June 4, 2008 in the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, Criminal Nos. CP-22-CR-0002685-2006, CP-22-CR-0004452-2006 | |
| Before: STEVENS, KLEIN and KELLY, JJ. | |
| Opinion by: KLEIN, J. | |
| Dwayne Brown appeals pro se from the trial court’s order dismissing, without a hearing, his petition filed pursuant to the Post Conviction Relief Act (PCRA), 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 9541-9546. On appeal Brown claims ineffectiveness of counsel due to a conflict of interest arising from trial counsel’s dual representation of him and his co-defendant. Because Brown has set forth facts which show the potential for harm as a result of counsel’s dual representation, we reverse and remand for a hearing on his petition. | |
