Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Commonwealth v. Belgrave, J., Aplt.

March 26, 2026

Summary

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania reversed the Superior Court’s affirmation of Jermaine Belgrave’s sentence, vacated the judgment, and remanded for a new trial because the prosecutor improperly called an immunized witness, Baizar, who was known to intend to invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer, constituting reversible error and prosecutorial misconduct.
