COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Petitioner v. Nathaniel WILLIAMS, Respondent
Petition for Allowance of Appeal from the Order of the Superior Court
ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 26th day of March, 2024, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, rephrased for clarity, are:
(1) Did the Superior Court err in holding that a signed and initialed transcription of a police interview is not a "written statement" for purposes of establishing a prima facie case of unsworn falsification to authorities under 18 Pa.C.S. § 4904?
(2) Did the Superior Court err in holding that the Commonwealth failed to establish a prima facie case of obstructing administration of law or other governmental function under 18 Pa.C.S. § 5101?
(3) In holding that the evidence was insufficient to establish a prima facie case of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, 18 Pa.C.S. § 4910, and tampering with public records or information, 18 Pa.C.S. § 4911, did the Superior Court fail to evaluate the evidence under the correct standard of review?
