Crowell v. Com

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Nov 7, 1990
582 A.2d 1311 (Pa. 1990)

Summary

In Com. v. Crowell, 52 Pa. Super. 539, it was held that where in a prosecution under the Ice Cream Act of March 24, 1909, P. L. 63, it is shown that a pint of ice cream for the sale of which the defendant was prosecuted had been analyzed and found deficient in butter fat, it is not error to exclude the evidence of experts to show that samples taken from other parts of the same can from which the pint was taken, might show different percentages of butter fat.
