  • availability of unprejudiced petit jury at trial obviates need for appellate review of grand jury
  • "Simply because a witness alters some portion of his testimony at the time of trial is not a sufficient reason to conclude that the new testimony is false, or that the Commonwealth knew or had reason to know that it was false"
  • judgment binds members who come into class before final order
