## Opinion text

SPAETH, Judge,
concurring:
I join in the majority opinion but suggest that on remand new counsel be appointed who is not a Public Defender, see Commonwealth v. Via, 455 Pa. 373 , 316 A.2d 895 (1975), and who therefore can raise additional ineffectiveness contentions, if that proves warranted.
HOFFMAN, J., joins in this concurring opinion.
