IN THIS ISSUE

An officer had reasonable suspicion to stop a driver of a car who resembled the person who had been arrested for DUI while driving the same car less than two hours before. The court denied the defendant’s motion to suppress. Commonwealth v. Williams, 8 D.&C.5th 449 (July 29, 2009, Kistler, J.)

The court ordered that the actual market value of the property owned by landowner, was set at $451,750. Basile v. Berks County Board of Assessment Appeals, 8 D.&C.5th 455 (August 5, 2009, Lash, J.)
