Docket entry
012316 Commonwealth v. Hill 09/13/2002 In a criminal appeal, the Court of Appeals erred in reversing a defendant's conviction on the ground that the trial court refused to permit questions asking prospective jurors about the range of punishment that could be imposed upon conviction. Neither the defendant nor the Commonwealth in a non-capital criminal prosecution has a right to ask about such matters during voir dire. The judgment of the Court of Appeals is reversed and the judgment of the circuit court is reinstated.
