[30 Pa.B. 1477]

[Continued from previous Web Page]

Comment

   The last two sentences of paragraph (A) were moved to new Rule 645 as part of the reorganization of the rules in 2000.

   Paragraph [(b)] (B) of this rule sets forth the number of peremptory challenges for the selection of alternate trial jurors and is intended to replace the Act of May 1, 1935, P. L. 127, No. 50, 51, insofar as it applied to criminal trials. That Act was repealed by the Judiciary Act Repealer Act, [Act of April 28, 1978, P. L. 202, No. 53, § 2(a);] 42 P. S. § 20002(a) [1156] [(1979)].

   The number of peremptory challenges for the selection of principal trial jurors is governed by Rule [1126] 634. [The 1980 amendment to paragraph] Paragraph [(b)] (B) [is intended to reflect] reflects the different treatment, under Rule [1126] 634, of trials involving only one defendant and trials involving joint defendants.

   Official Note:  Rule 1108 [Adopted] adopted January 24, 1968, effective August 1, 1968; amended June 30, 1975, effective September 28, 1975; amended July 1, 1980, effective August 1, 1980; renumbered Rule 633 and amended March 1, 2000, effective April 1, 2001.

Committee Explanatory Reports:

   Final Report explaining the March 1, 2000 reorganization and renumbering of the rules published with the Court's Order at 30 Pa.B. 1478 (March 18, 2000).

Rule [1117] 602.  Presence of the Defendant.

   [(a)] (A)  The defendant shall be present [at the arraignment,] at every stage of the trial including the impaneling of the jury and the return of the verdict, and at the imposition of sentence, except as otherwise provided by this rule. The defendant's absence without cause shall not preclude proceeding with the trial including the return of the verdict.

   [(b)] (B)  A corporation may appear by its attorney for all purposes.

   [(c)  In a summary case appealed for a trial de novo, if the defendant fails to appear as required by Rule 86, the trial judge may dismiss the appeal and enter judgment in the court of common pleas on the judgment of the issuing authority.]

Comment

   [Paragraph] Former Rule 1117(c) was moved to Rule 642 (Trial de novo) in 2000 as part of the reorganization of the rules [added in 1994 to make it clear that the trial judge may dismiss a summary case appeal when the judge determines that the defendant is absent without cause from the trial de novo. If the appeal is dismissed, the trial judge should enter judgment and order execution of any sentence imposed by the issuing authority].

   Official Note:  Rule 1117 [Adopted] adopted January 24, 1968, effective August 1, 1968; amended October 28, 1994, effective as to cases instituted on or after January 1, 1995; renumbered Rule 602 and amended March 1, 2000, effective April 1, 2001.

   [The following Acts of Assembly are hereby suspended:

   Sections 9731, 9732, 9733, 9734, 9735, 9736, 9751, 9752, and 9759 of the Sentencing Code, 42 Pa.C.S. §§ 9731, 9732, 9733, 9734, 9735, 9736, 9751, 9752, and 9759 as being inconsistent with the rules of this Chapter.

Comment

   This rule was amended in 1995 for several reasons:

   (2)  the JARA Continuation Act of 1980 (Act 1980-142, § 41) transferred the Sentencing Code provisions suspended by former paragraph (g) from the Crimes Code (Title 18) to the Judicial Code (Title 42);

   (4)  the Judiciary Act Repealer Act repealed the other acts that were suspended by this rule. 42 P. S. § 20002(a) [150], [377], [931], [955], [1007], [1188], [1202], [1287], [1335] (1982).]
