Description
Appellant, Howard Johnson, challenges the denial of his petition for modification of sentence. On May 2, 1984, appellant was sentenced to five to ten years' imprisonment following his jury conviction on five counts of possession with intent to deliver involving heroin and preludin, and one count of possession of marijuana. Appellant argues that: (1) the charges were improperly joined for trial; (2) the trial court abused its discretion by refusing to allow voir dire as to whether any of the jurors or members of their families had ever been the victim of a crime; (3) evidence was improperly admitted at trial; (4) the trial court failed to utilize proper sentencing procedures; (5) trial counsel was ineffective; and (6) the evidence was insufficient to prove intent to deliver. We find appellant's arguments to be without merit, and affirm the judgment of sentence of the Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas.
