The opinion

CIRILLO, Judge,

concurring:

I join in the majority opinion except insofar as it addresses the sufficiency of the evidence in appellant Balch’s case. This issue was not raised in post-trial motions, and therefore should be considered waived for purposes of appellate *79 review. Commonwealth v. Gravely, 486 Pa. 194 , 404 A.2d 1296 (1979).
