BEFORE: OLSON, J., KUNSELMAN, J., and NICHOLS, J.

MEMORANDUM BY OLSON, J.: FILED JANUARY 13, 2025

Appellant, Dashawn Laquinn Jamison, appeals from the judgment of

sentence entered on July 24, 2023, following his jury trial conviction for

delivery of a controlled substance (cocaine).1 We affirm.

We briefly set forth the facts and procedural history of this case as

follows. On February 4, 2021, three police officers with the York County Drug

Task Force conducted a controlled narcotics transaction between a confidential

informant (CI) and Appellant. The police searched the CI prior to the

transaction, and he did not have anything on his person. At an agreed upon

location at the corner of Hartley and Clarke Streets in York, Pennsylvania, the

officers surveilled and photographed a hand-to-hand exchange inside a silver

Chevrolet between the CI and Appellant. The CI gave Appellant $200.00 in

____________________________________________

1 35 P.S. § 780-113(a)(30).
J-S33008-24

exchange for a bag of crack cocaine. The police recovered two cellular

telephones and $200.00 from Appellant in a search incident to his arrest. On

June 24, 2022, the Commonwealth charged Appellant with the

aforementioned offense. Appellant proceeded pro se. The trial court

appointed standby counsel for Appellant in November 2022. Prior to trial

Appellant filed a pro se omnibus motion, which included, inter alia, a request

to compel the identity of the CI. Following a hearing on December 21, 2022,

the trial court denied relief. At a status hearing held in March 2023, Appellant

asserted that he was unable to conduct pro se witness interviews from prison,

so the trial court appointed an investigator from the York County Office of

Conflict Counsel to assist Appellant. At the conclusion of a three-day trial

commencing on May 8, 2023, the jury found Appellant guilty of the

aforementioned crime. On July 24, 2023, the trial court sentenced Appellant

to three to six years of incarceration. This timely, counseled appeal resulted.2
____________________________________________

2 Appellant filed a timely pro se post sentence motion which the trial court
denied by order entered on August 8, 2023. Thereafter, Appellant filed a
timely pro se notice of appeal. After the trial court granted Appellant an
extension, Appellant filed a pro se concise statement of errors complained of
on appeal pursuant to Pa.R.A.P. 1925(b) as directed. On October 16, 2023,
this Court ordered the trial court to determine whether appellate counsel
should be appointed to represent Appellant or Appellant voluntarily wished to
continue to proceed pro se. The trial court conducted a hearing on November
16, 2023 and Appellant knowingly waived his right to counsel. Appellant
requested additional time to file a pro se amended Rule 1925(b) statement
which the trial court granted. In February 2023, Appellant filed a motion for
the reappointment of appellate counsel. The trial court appointed counsel and
ordered her to file an amended Rule 1925(b) statement. After the grant of
several extensions for various reasons, counsel for Appellant filed a timely
(Footnote Continued Next Page)

J-S33008-24

On appeal, counsel for Appellant presents the following issues3 for our

review:

I. Whether the Commonwealth failed to prove every element
of the offense of delivery of cocaine[,] specifically[,]
whether the evidence was insufficient to prove Appellant
delivered the controlled substance [(cocaine)] to the [CI]?

II. Whether the verdict was against the greater weight of the
evidence?

III. Whether the trial court erred when it declined to compel
discovery, specifically the CI’s identity in violation of
Appellant’s state and federal due process rights?

IV. Whether the trial court erred when it denied Appellant’s
request to interview potential defense witnesses at York
County Prison, but rather directed conflict counsel to secure
an investigator to interview said witnesses, in violation of
Appellant’s right to self-representation?

V. Whether the trial court erred when it denied Appellant’s
request to call different witnesses on the basis that the trial
court determined they were not relevant?

a. Witnesses who knew the CI and heard the CI discussing
staging drug buys to save himself from prison;

b. Laura Brown, a clinical and forensic psychologist, who
would have provided testimony on habits, routines, and
traits of addicts and to potentially inform the jury the
potential mental state of an informant who actively used
drugs; and

Rule 1925(b) statement on March 19, 2024. On March 26, 2024, the trial
court issued an opinion pursuant to Pa.R.A.P. 1925(a).

3 We have reordered Appellant’s issues for ease of discussion and disposition.

-3-
J-S33008-24

c. A corrections officer at York County Prison whose
testimony would have cast doubt on the
Commonwealth’s evidence regarding the search of CI
prior to CI’s interaction with Appellant. The witness would
have testified, in an expert capacity, about how new
[inmates] to the prison who were previously searched by
York police were found in possession of illegal contraband
upon entry to the prison.

VI. Whether the trial court erred when it excused Juror 158, the
only black juror, without further inquiring into why the juror
stated that they could no longer deliberate during active
deliberations?

VII. Whether the trial court erred when it denied Appellant’s
request for a [b]ill of [p]articulars?

VIII. Whether the Commonwealth committed numerous Brady[4]
violations when it withheld [information] that a man named
Mr. Robert Huffmaster had the same telephone number that
the CI called [in this matter]?

Appellant’s Brief at 7-8.

On appeal, Appellant’s first seven issues challenge various pretrial and

trial rulings. First, Appellant challenges the weight and sufficiency of the

evidence presented at trial, arguing that “[t]here [wa]s no evidence that

Appellant gave the CI crack cocaine” because “while a detective observed a

hand-to-hand exchange, he could not testify as to exactly what was

exchanged[.]” Id. at 17. Appellant further argues that “[t]he CI could have

received the drugs [that police later recovered from him] after he was

originally searched by” the police and “[i]f Appellant would have had the

identity of the CI, Appellant could have cross[-]examined the CI on his

____________________________________________

-4-
J-S33008-24

motives for setting up the controlled sale [or] had previously arranged similar

transactions to lessen the CI’s [exposure to a] prison sentence[.]” Id. at 28;

see also id. at 34 (Appellant “believed the CI staged the buy and could have

retrieved the drugs from either hiding it so the officers who searched him prior

to the controlled buy could not find it or [he] picked it up somewhere between

the time after the CI was searched and when the CI handed over the drugs

after the controlled buy.”). Moreover, Appellant suggests there was “at least

a reasonable possibility the CI’s identity would exonerate him, [] because the

CI was known for setting up other individuals for controlled buys[.]” Id. at

29. Next, Appellant argues that his right to self-representation was violated

when “the trial court actually endorsed hybrid representation when it directed

standby counsel to secure a private investigator to investigate any potential

defense witnesses, which in turn violated Appellant’s right to represent himself

pro se.” Id. at 31-32. Appellant also argues that the trial court denied his

request to call various witnesses to cast doubt on the CI’s credibility and to

show that he staged the controlled buy to avoid imprisonment himself. Id. at

33-35. Appellant also argues that the trial court failed to take protective

measures, specifically failed to extensively question the alternate and

remaining jurors, when “Juror #158 explained they could no longer deliberate

due to concern for their emotional wellbeing” after one hour of deliberation.

Id. at 42-43. Finally, Appellant suggests that “the trial court abused its

discretion in failing to order the Commonwealth to file a [b]ill of [p]articulars”

when Appellant only filed a pro se motion for an extension of time “so the

-5-
J-S33008-24

Commonwealth would have time to provide discovery and [b]ill of [p]articulars

to him.” Id. at 45-46.

Regarding sufficiency of the evidence, we adhere to the following

standards:

Because a determination of evidentiary sufficiency presents a
question of law, our standard of review is de novo and our scope
of review is plenary. In reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence,
we must determine whether the evidence admitted at trial and all
reasonable inferences drawn therefrom, viewed in the light most
favorable to the Commonwealth as verdict winner, were sufficient
to prove every element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt.
The facts and circumstances established by the Commonwealth
need not preclude every possibility of innocence. It is within the
province of the fact-finder to determine the weight to be accorded
to each witness's testimony and to believe all, part, or none of the
evidence. The Commonwealth may sustain its burden of proving
every element of the crime by means of wholly circumstantial
evidence. Moreover, as an appellate court, we may not re-weigh
the evidence and substitute our judgment for that of the fact-
finder.

Commonwealth v. Williams, 176 A.3d 298, 305–306 (Pa. Super. 2017)

(internal citations and quotations omitted).

Moreover, regarding the weight of the evidence:

The decision to grant or deny a motion for a new trial based upon
a claim that the verdict is against the weight of the evidence is
within the sound discretion of the trial court. Thus, the function of
an appellate court on appeal is to review the trial court's exercise
of discretion based upon a review of the record, rather than to
consider de novo the underlying question of the weight of the
evidence.

An appellate court may not overturn the trial court's decision
unless the trial court palpably abused its discretion in ruling on
the weight claim. Further, in reviewing a challenge to the weight
of the evidence, a verdict will be overturned only if it is so contrary
to the evidence as to shock one's sense of justice.

-6-
J-S33008-24

A trial court's determination that a verdict was not against the
interest of justice is one of the least assailable reasons for denying
a new trial. A verdict is against the weight of the evidence where
certain facts are so clearly of greater weight that to ignore them
or to give them equal weight with all the facts is to deny justice.
We do not reach the underlying question of whether the verdict
was, in fact, against the weight of the evidence. Instead, this
Court determines whether the trial court abused its discretion in
reaching whatever decision it made on the motion.

Id. at 312 (internal citations, quotations, brackets and ellipses omitted).

“Our standard of review of claims that a trial court erred in its disposition

of a request for disclosure of an informant's identity is confined to abuse of

discretion.” Commonwealth v. Withrow, 932 A.2d 138, 140 (Pa. Super.

2007) (citation omitted). “Indeed, where the informant was an eyewitness to

the transaction in question, the role of the trial judge's discretion is established

by rule of court.” Id. citing Pa.R.Crim.P. 573(B)(2)(a)(i). We also review

the trial court's decision to admit or preclude testamentary evidence for an

abuse of discretion. Commonwealth v. Cox, 115 A.3d 333, 336 (Pa. Super.

2015) (en banc). “The decision to discharge a juror is within the sound

discretion of the trial court and will not be disturbed absent an abuse of that

discretion… even after the jury has been empaneled and the juror sworn.”

Commonwealth v. Smith, 206 A.3d 551, 562 (Pa. Super. 2019). The

Superior Court also reviews a trial court’s decision regarding a request for a

bill of particulars for an abuse of discretion. See Commonwealth v.

McKnight, 305 A.3d 582, 589 (Pa. Super. 2023) citing Pa.R.Crim.P. 572. “An

abuse of discretion is not a mere error in judgment but, rather, involves bias,

-7-
J-S33008-24

ill will, partiality, prejudice, manifest unreasonableness, or misapplication of

law.” Cox, 115 A.3d at 336 (citation omitted).

We have carefully reviewed the certified record, the submissions of the

parties, and the thorough Rule 1925(a) opinion issued by the trial court on

March 26, 2024. Because the trial court's opinion adequately and accurately

addresses Appellant’s first seven appellate claims as set forth above, we adopt

the trial court's March 26, 2024 opinion as our own. Here, the trial court noted

that three police officers were involved in the controlled narcotics purchase

between Appellant and the CI. One of the officers specifically saw a hand-to-

hand transaction between Appellant and the CI inside a vehicle and the

Commonwealth presented photographs of the interaction at trial. The driver

of the vehicle, wherein the controlled buy occurred, testified that she observed

the CI hand Appellant $200.00. As such, the trial court determined there was

sufficient evidence of a drug delivery. The trial court further determined that

the jury’s verdict did not shock the conscience of the court and, therefore, the

verdict was not against the weight of the evidence. We will not usurp that

determination. Moreover, the trial court further found that Appellant failed

to show that the identity of the CI was material to his defense because there

was no reasonable possibility that the CI would exonerate Appellant and the

CI was not the only witness to the transaction. Regarding additional trial

witnesses, the trial court concluded that Appellant could not interview

potential witnesses pro se at the prison due to security reasons and because

Appellant had a prior conviction for witness intimidation. As such, the trial

-8-
J-S33008-24

court found it was appropriate to order an investigator to meet with witnesses,

at Appellant’s direction, in preparation for trial. Regarding the removal of a

juror, the trial court noted that during deliberation, Juror #158 believed he

could no longer participate and asked to be replaced with an alternate.

Outside the presence of the remaining jurors, the trial court determined that

the juror could not be fair and impartial because he was concerned about his

emotional well-being. The trial court replaced him with a sequestered

alternate and twice instructed the remaining venire to start deliberations

anew. Finally, regarding a bill of particulars, the trial court recognized that

Appellant failed to make a timely or formal request pursuant to Pa.R.Crim.P.

572 and the Commonwealth already timely turned over discovery which

contained the same information which would have been disclosed in a bill of

particulars. On all of these issues, we discern no abuse of discretion and adopt

the trial court’s decision as our own. The parties are hereafter directed to

include a copy of the trial court's March 26, 2024 opinion with all future filings

pertaining to our disposition of this appeal.

Finally, Appellant contends that, after trial, he discovered that the

telephone number that the CI used to call Appellant in this matter was used

in another, unrelated case. Appellant’s Brief at 36-38 (“Mr. Robert

H[u]ffmaster was also charged with the delivery of crack cocaine and the same

aforementioned telephone number was listed in Mr. H[u]ffmaster’s

discovery.”). Appellant alleges that the Commonwealth withheld this

information from him in violation of Brady, supra. He claims that “had

-9-
J-S33008-24

Appellant been privy to this evidence[,] Appellant could have shown the jury

that the same telephone number was previously linked to another person

thereby creating reasonable doubt of Appellant’s guilt.” Id. at 37.

Accordingly, Appellant requests a new trial, or alternatively, for this Court to

remand the case for an evidentiary hearing on this matter. Id. at 38.

As we have previously determined:

To obtain relief on a claim of after-discovered evidence, the
evidence must satisfy a four-prong test:

(1) the evidence could not have been obtained before the
conclusion of the trial by reasonable diligence; (2) the evidence is
not merely corroborative or cumulative; (3) the evidence will not
be used solely for purposes of impeachment; and (4) the evidence
is of such a nature and character that a different outcome is likely.

The United States Supreme Court held in Brady “that the
suppression by the prosecution of evidence favorable to an
accused upon request violates due process where the evidence is
material either to guilt or to punishment, irrespective of the good
faith or bad faith of the prosecution.” This duty to disclose
evidence is applicable even where the defendant has not made a
request for it. Evidence is material “if there is a reasonable
probability that, had the evidence been disclosed to the defense,
the result of the proceeding would have been different.” This rule
includes evidence known only to police investigators, but not the
prosecutor, who has a duty to learn of any evidence known by
others who are acting on behalf of the Commonwealth in the
defendant's case.

* * *

[Generally, on after-discovered evidence claims presented on
direct appeal,] we remand to provide the trial court the
opportunity to develop the record and to rule upon [] after-
discovered evidence and Brady claims in the first instance.

Here, Appellant presented his after-discovered evidence/Brady claim and

request for remand promptly on direct appeal. Accordingly, we remand to
