If you work in criminal defense, read Commonwealth v. Weir. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that a challenge to the sentencing court’s order setting the amount of restitution implicates the court’s discretion and, therefore, must be preserved with (1) a contemporaneous objection and/or a post-trial motion and (2) process provided by 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 9781(b) and Pa.R.A.P. 2119(f).
