Phil. Cnty. Pa. 710
As amended through December 18, 2021
Where a negotiated plea has been refused by the trial judge after hearing the facts of the case and the defendant is permitted to withdraw the guilty plea, the Quarter Sessions clerk shall note on the transcript, with specificity, the District Attorney's recommendation and that the plea bargain was declined by the judge.
This procedure is intended to prevent counsel from taking the same case before another judge who might accept the negotiation that was previously refused by the court.
