iv" HISTORY
No revision of the penal laws Has made between 1860 and 1939. The criminal law nov[ in force is set forth largely in the Act of June 24-, 1939, P. L. 872, lmown as "The Penal Code," and a:nendments thereto.
The Penal Code of 1939 made ,10 attempt at u!1iformity or consistency. It did, however, include in one statute the more important criminal laws of the Con~onwealth. The General t,s'lembly, .Sess ion of 194-5, by TIes olution, Serial Number 15, direct"d the Joint state Government Com mission to investi::;ate, survey and consider all penal laVls of the Com:nol1\'!ealth and to l'evi-;e and restate the .s ame in codified form and report its findings and conclusions to the 194-7 Session of the General Assembly. The subcommittee of the Joint State Government Cor,uaiss ion charged \'lith the initial study 1'!ere Paul M. Crider, Chairman, C. Arthur Blass, Israel Stiefel, appointed on the part of the
Senate; francis ',"or ley, Vice Chairman, Charles H. Brunner, Jr. Joseph Skale, appointed on the ,art of the House; and an advisory committee headed by IV. H. Hitchler, Dean of the

!>larch 21, 19~7," and the Commission IS recommendations l'lere contained in Senate Bill No. 306 (19~7). The General Assembly after studying the proposals in the committees of both houses during the 19~7 Session, b>
2 concurrent resolution directed the Joint State Government Commission to continue its survey, investigation and con sideration of the penal laws, to revise and restate them and submit a bill embodying SQme ~t the 1949 Session. The revision and restatement recommended by the Joint State Government Cornmission are embodied in Senate Bill No. 243, Session of 1949, a copy of which is attached hereto.
3 . .. DIGEST OF SENATE BILL NO. 2~3 (1949)
The bill by its terms is des ignated the "Crimes Act." It is not a codification of existing la,., but a re- vision and redrafting of all of the more important criminal laws. 2. The bill sets forth: 13 Offensos against the Government 20 Offenses against Public Justice and Adminis- tration
15 Offenses against the Public ~eace 23 Offenses against Public Morals and Decency 67 Offenses against Public Policy, Economy and Health 21 Offenses aGainst the Person 5~ Offenses against Personal Propecty and Fraudulent dealing therewith 22 Offenses against Real Property and Malicious Nischief 100ffetlses agcdnstthe Coin and 2orgorJ[ 3. Attached hereto is a reference table showing the section titles and section numbers of Senate Bill No. 243 (1949), the corresponding section numbers appearing in Senate Bill No. 306, Printer's No. 571 (1947) and the equivalent sections of the Penal Code of 1939, P. L. 872 and its amendments. 4. peneral features of Senate Bill No. 243 (1949):
.. (a) Eliminates archaic and obsolete languaf,e in defining offenses (b) Eliminates technical and surplus verbiaf,e (c) Groups related provisions to~ether, briefly :md concisely
(d) ~estotes ond clarifies conflicting provisions (e) !'lakes UIliform the distinction beh/een felonies
and misdemeanors by providing that 0.11 crimes punishable by imprisonment of more than three (3) years are felonies; and that all other crimes are misdemeanors. \)hen the offense
is sumlnary the text so states. ~Jith the offenses thus classified: 68 are felonies 146 are misdemeanors 43 are sunh~ary offenses In some instances a single section contains both a felony and a misdemeanor as illustrated by sections 307 and 318 (f) Ha1ms uniform the method of fixing lJenalties
by providing a fine of ()1000 for ench year of
imprisonment ':/hich may ~JC ir.l)osed so t:-tot uhere
the maximum imprisonment is 1 yeoI' the maximu.m
fine is ;?1000; vrhere the r1axir,lUm ir.1liI·i.30nment
is 2 years, the maximum fine is ·;;2000; if 5' years, then $5'000 and so on. In order to meet
5' this standard of uniformity it was necessary to change many of the penalties provided for in eXisting law. These chan~es are swnmarized as follows: 247 maximum fines vlere increased 82 maximum prison terms were increased 53 maximum fines remain unchansed 189 maximum prison terms renain unchanged 18 maximum fines \;lere decreased
47 maximum prison terms \·rere decreased Considering hath the maximum fine cmd prison term as provided for each offense the change mClY be summClrized as f0110'IS: for 82 offenses increase in hath fine and prison term for 15 offenses decrease in hath fine and prison term for 36 offenses both fine and prison term
remain unchBn~ed for 150 offenses increase in fine, prison term remains unchanged for 3 offenses decrease in fine, prison term remc\ins nnchan,-;od
for 7 offenses decre,·" i Y. '.':: ", '. ·rpj~m,
fine remains l.ruChd;l.:;)'r :~.
for 15 of;enses inCreQ3~ in fL1E, decrease in prison term
6 .,~.-'-. -
Tho above tabulation takes into account the instances where numerous separate offenses listed in the present law have been consolidated into a single section, and relates the penalty in each case to the penalty provided for in the consolidated section of Senate Bill No. 243, (1949) (g) There are no penalties that require fine AND imprisonment. All penalties provide for fine OR imprisonment OR both. There are no minimum penalties; all penalties are maximum. A court may suspend sentence, or sentence from one minute or l¢ or both, to the maximum penalty provided (h) Abolishes imprisonment at separate or solitary confinement at hard labor and all modified forms thereof, and provides for "imprison ment" only (section 1111) (i) Provides for restitution as part of tbe sen tence where property has been stolen or converted (section 1112)
(j) Preserves all offenses nO\~ provided for whether at common law or by statute not repealed (section 1101) (k) In all cases where imprisonment is provided fQr in Senate Bill No. 243 (1949), imprisorunent is provided for by laws now in force.
7 "From the earliest time until 1925, the penalty for murder in the first degree Vias death. In that year the penalty was made either death or life imprisonment, at the dis cretion of the jury trying the case, or, in the case of pleas of guilty, at the discretion of the court. At no time has the court had discretion to fix the penalty following con viction after plea of not guilty, "The earliest statute under the COIT21on- vlealth vias .Section 15 of the Act of April 22, 1794, 3 Sm. L. 186, which provided: 'Every person convicted of murder, of the first degree, his or her aiders, abettors and counsellors, shall suffer death by hanging by the neck.' "The Act of 1794 l",as repealed by the Act of March 31, 1860, P. L. 427, and Vias reenacted in substantially the same language by section 75 of the Penal Code of March 31, 1860, P. L. 382. This l'las the la,,,, tmtil the Act of Nay lIt, 1925,
P. L. 759, Hhich amended section 75 of the f'enal Code to read: 'Every person convicted of the crime of murder of the first degree shall be sentenced to suffer death in the manner provided by laVi, or to undergo imprison ment for life, at the discretion of' the jury trying the case, which shall fL~ the penalty by its verdict. The court shall impose the sentence so fixed, as
9 in other cases. In cases of pleas of E;uilty, the court, vlhere it deterr~ines the crime to be murder of the first degree, shall, at its discretion, im pose sentence of death or inprisonr"ent for life.' "It will be noted that the duty of determing the penalty in cases of pleas of guilty is placed on the court ',rithout specifying ':rhether it is to be the court en bane or the trial judge who hears the evidence. In the case of
~. v. Pepperman, et al., 351,Pa. 373, 'the trial court, sitting en banc, heard testimony for the Commonwealth and for the defendants,'
and fixed the ~onalty. ~his is probably the
general practice v~lere there is more than one judge. liThe Penal code of Jtme 24, 1939, P. L. 872, repeals this provision of the Penal Code of 1860 and its amendments and, in section 701 thereof, substantially reacts the provision to rend as fol101'ls: 'vfuoever is convicted of the crime of murder of the first degree is guilty of a felony and shall be sentenced to suffer death in the Jncmner provided by lavl, or to undergo imprisonmont for life, at the discretion of the jury trying the case which shall fix the penalty by its ver- dict. The court shall inpose the sentence so fixed, as in other cases. In CQse of pleas of guilty, the court, Vlhere it deter mines the crime to be nurder of the first degree, shall, at its discretion, impose sentence of death or inprisonnent for life. '"
10 Section 701 of Senate Bill No. 243 (1949) changes the lal1 so that in first degree murder cases the jury will be required to render jMO findings. In its first finding the jury deter mines the question of guilt or innocence. If the jury returns a first degree verdict, evidence l1ill then be received to enable the jury to determine whether the guilty accused should receive the death penalty or the 1e3ser penalty of life imprisonment. After receiving this evidence the jury retires and returns with a finding of either death or life imprisonment. This change is regarded as a desirable advnnce in the crimino1 1m! upon this subject.
