Commonwealth, Aplt. v. Smith, J.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania reversed the Superior Court’s affirmation of the dismissal of simple assault, criminal conspiracy, and reckless endangerment charges against off‑duty police officers, holding that the lower courts improperly made credibility determinations at the preliminary hearing and failed to apply the mandated light‑most‑favorable‑to‑the‑Commonwealth standard. The Court remanded for trial.
