COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Petitioner v. Joseph Walter DERHAMMER, Respondent.
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
AND NOW, this 26th day of May, 2015, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as framed by Petitioner, is as follows:
Did the Superior Court err in affirming the trial judge's decision precluding the Commonwealth from referencing [Respondent's] pre-arrest failure to inquire as to the welfare of the victims, specifically the [Respondent's] spontaneous, self-initiated contact with police, that was not in response to any police questioning, after he arrived at the arson scene of his own volition?
