CONCURRING STATEMENT BY STRASSBURGER, J.:
                                    FILED NOVEMBER 2, 2018

      I join the Majority Memorandum. I write separately only to comment

that Appellant’s position – that he should be released after his escape

because the Pennsylvania State Police did not look hard enough for him – is

classic chutzpah.1

1 Chutzpah, a Yiddish term, has been defined as gall or nerve, such as
exhibited in the boy who killed his parents and then begged the court for
mercy because he was an orphan.
