## Opinion text

HUTCHINSON, Justice,
concurring.
I agree that the record does not show sufficient evidence of wrongdoing within the meaning of Section 2 of the Police Tenure Act, 53 P.S. § 812, to support appellant’s discharge. Therefore, I concur in the result reached by the majority. However, because the case has been properly decided on the sufficiency of the evidence issue, I believe it is unnecessary to consider the propriety of Supervisor Glova’s participation both in the hearing on the charges against appellant and in the Board of Supervisors’ ultimate decision to dismiss him.
