MONTEMURO, Judge,
concurring:
I concur in the result solely on the basis of the staleness of the eight year-old convictions offered for impeachment purposes. Were it not for the staleness of those convictions, I would not find an abuse of discretion by the Court below. All other criteria set out in Commonwealth v. Bighum, 452 Pa. 554, 307 A.2d 255 (1973) and Commonwealth v. Roots, 482 Pa. 33, 393 A.2d 364 (1978) have been met. See, e. g. Commonwealth v. Cooke, 267 Pa. Super. 34, 405 A.2d 1290 (1979).
