   OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Judgment of sentence affirmed.

ROBERTS, J., filed a concurring opinion.

CONCURRING OPINION

ROBERTS, J.

The sole issue presented in this direct appeal is the sufficiency of the evidence to support a verdict of murder in the first degree. Because the evidence supports a finding of felony murder, I agree that the conviction should be affirmed.
