             Criminal Division at No. CP-51-CR-0010239-2011

BEFORE: BOWES, DONOHUE and MUNDY, JJ.

CONCURRING OPINION BY DONOHUE, J.:                FILED AUGUST 27, 2014

     I agree with the learned Majority that section 1102.1(a)(1) of the



prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment nor offends the United

                                  Miller v. Alabama, __ U.S. __, 132 S.Ct.

2455 (2012). I also agree that the remaining two issues raised by Appellant

              Id.; see also Commonwealth v. Robinson, 931 A.2d 15, 21

(Pa. Super. 2007) (en banc) (stating that most sentencing claims involving a

     It is well-settled law that issues not raised below, even those of a

constitutional dimension, are waived.     See Commonwealth v. Miller, 80

   In Williams, the appellant was given a mandatory minimum sentence
pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 9712(a) and (b), relating to sentences for
offenses committed with firearms. Williams, 787 A.2d at 1087.

review.
