Docket entry
002816 Megel v. Commonwealth 09/14/2001 In an appeal of a firearms conviction where the controlling issue was failure of the trial court to suppress items seized in a warrantless search of defendant's home, the Court of Appeals erred in ruling that, by entering a so-called home electronic incarceration program, defendant waived Fourth Amendment rights and his home became the equivalent of a prison cell. The judgment is reversed. Because the issue of consent has not been addressed, the case is remanded for consideration of that issue.
