How later courts describe this case
- permitting police detective to identify individuals on surveillance tape as defendants
- “The burden is on the defendant to demonstrate financial inability in order to obtain counsel.”
- consecutive sentences for felony murder and for underlying felony of robbery do not violate double jeopardy clause because state legislature defines each as a separate crime, applying Pennsylvania law in a case involving felony murder and robbery
- refusing to reverse trial court for allowing videotape identification
