COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. CHARLES S. RENCHENSKI

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. CHARLES S. RENCHENSKI
No. 214 WDA 2009 2010 PA Super 9 Atlantic: n/a Filed: 1/21/2010

Appeal from the PCRA Order January 30, 2009
In the Court of Common Pleas of Clearfield County
Criminal Division at No. CP-17-CR-0000481-1982
Before: MUSMANNO, BENDER and CLELAND*, JJ.
Opinion by: BENDER, J.
Charles S. Renchenski (Appellant) appeals from the order denying his petition for relief filed under the Post Conviction Relief Act (PCRA), 42 Pa.C.S. §§ 9541-9546. Appellant claims that the trial court erroneously determined that the extraordinary time delay in this case prejudiced the Commonwealth’s ability to retry the case, thereby warranting dismissal of the petition pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. § 9543(b). For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
