This legal case is about a defendant who was convicted of second-degree murder, robbery, and possession of an instrument of crime. The defendant is appealing various decisions made by the trial court, including the admission of hearsay statements and testimony from a jailhouse informant, the denial of their mistrial motion, and the refusal to allow cross-examination of a detective. The defendant is also challenging the court's denial of their motion to charge the jury with involuntary manslaughter, the legality of their sentence, and the court's denial of their motion to dismiss based on the Commonwealth's failure to bring the matter to trial in a speedy fashion.
