Opinion
October 31, 1996.
Petition Nos. 82-83 Middle District for Allowance of Appeal from the order of the Superior Court.
Jeffrey J. Crossland, Lewisburg, for Petitioner.
ORDER
AND NOW, this 31st day of October, 1996, the Petitions for Allowance of Appeal are GRANTED, but LIMITED to the following issue:
"Whether the Superior Court erred in reversing the decision of the trial court with respect to the granting of a new trial in the "interest of justice" due to the cumulative effect of the expert testimony offered by the Commonwealth and the possibility of a tainted jury."
In addressing this issue, the parties are instructed to speak to the applicability of Commonwealth v. Powell, 527 Pa. 288, 590 A.2d 1240 (1991) to this case.
