Description

In this eighteen-year-old murder case, the Commonwealth appealed from the trial courts grant of the defendants motion in limine which precluded the admission of specified evidence during his retrial. Superior Court held that the orders were pretrial "suppression orders" which practically terminated or substantially handicapped the prosecution, appealable pursuant to Commonwealth v. Dugger, 506 Pa. 537, 486 A.2d 382 (1985), and reversed the orders as erroneous limitations on the Commonwealths use of its evidence. 391 Pa. Super. 633, 563 A.2d 188. We granted allocatur to review the appealability of an order excluding evidence on a motion in limine. We hold that the orders were appealable under the rationale of Commonwealth v. Dugger, supra, but that Superior Court erred in reversing the trial court orders.
