00 A defendant's voluntary escape acts as a per se  forfeiture of his rights of appeal, where the defendant  is a fugitive at any time after post-trial proceedings  commence. Such a forfeiture is irrevocable and  continues despite the defendant's capture or voluntary  return to custody. Thus, by choosing to flee from  justice, appellant has forever forfeited his right to  appeal.Commonwealth v. Jones, 000 Pa. 000, 000, 000 A.0d 000, 000 (0000).
