| Appeal from the Judgment of Sentence entered July 24, 2008 In the Court of Common Pleas of Monroe County, Criminal, No. CP-45-CR-0000921-2007 | |
| Before: STEVENS, LALLY-GREEN and KLEIN, JJ. | |
| Opinion by: KLEIN, J. | |
| Anthony Michael Lawson appeals his sentence following his conviction for Prohibited Offensive Weapon (POW) after being found in possession of a knife in a sheath that could be locked in a 90-degree position as well as in a straight position. Lawson argues that the Commonwealth failed to prove that the knife found in his possession met the definition of a prohibited offensive weapon. The trial judge found that the Commonwealth proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the knife had no common lawful purpose and convicted Lawson to 6 months’ to 24 years’ imprisonment. We agree and affirm. | |
