Text: The sixth through eighth issues concern whether the trial court erred in quashing the two counts of intimidation of witnesses or victims, 18 Pa.C.S. § 4952. The record indicates that the trial court quashed these counts by its written order filed September 3, 1982. Although the Commonwealth filed a motion for reconsideration of this September 3 order, no averment was made by the Commonwealth in that reconsideration motion that the trial court had erred in quashing the intimidation counts. The two notices of appeal filed by the Commonwealth were from the trial court's oral order of September 7 and written order of September 24. Neither of these two orders affirmed or modified the trial court's previous ruling on the intimidation counts. Therefore, as the Commonwealth failed to either appeal the September 3 order directly or include in its motion for reconsideration the trial court's alleged error in quashing the two counts of intimidation, these issues have not been properly preserved for appellate review. See Pa.R.A.P. 302(a).
