The opinion

MONTEMURO, Judge,

concurring:

I concur in the result solely on the basis of the staleness of the eight year-old convictions offered for impeachment purposes. Were it not for the staleness of those convictions, I would not find an abuse of discretion by the Court below. All other criteria set out in Commonwealth v. Bighum, 452 Pa. 554 , 307 A.2d 255 (1973) and Commonwealth v. Roots, 482 Pa. 33 , 393 A.2d 364 (1978) have been met. See, e. g. Commonwealth v. Cooke, 267 Pa. Super. 34 , 405 A.2d 1290 (1979).
