POMEROY, Justice
(dissenting).
While I agree in the main with Parts I and II of the opinion of the Court, I must dissent from Part III and the grant of a new trial based thereon. The reasons for this position have been frequently stated heretofore. See Commonwealth v. Chaney, 465 Pa. 407, 409, 350 A.2d 829, 831 (1975) (dissenting opinion of Pomeroy, J., joined by Mr. Chief Justice JONES and Mr. Justice EAGEN), and cases there cited. I would therefore affirm the judgment of sentence.
JONES, C. J., and EAGEN, J., join in this dissenting opinion.
