| COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. HAP AL SEIDERS No. 1605 MDA 2009 2010 PA Super 194 Atlantic: n/a Filed: 10/25/2010 | |
| Appeal from the Judgment of Sentence of August 19, 2009 In the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, Criminal Division, No. CR-0000437-08, CP-22-CR-0004709-2008 | |
| Before: MUSMANNO, LAZARUS, and OLSON, JJ. | |
| Opinion by: LAZARUS, J. | |
| Hap Al Seiders (“Seiders”) appeals from his judgment of sentence entered in the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County following his conviction for bigamy. The issue before us is whether the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County has subject matter jurisdiction over the offense of bigamy where the second marriage took place in Las Vegas, Nevada. Because jurisdiction lies in Nevada, where the second, offending marriage occurred, we conclude that the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to convict Seiders of bigamy, and, therefore, we reverse. | |
