COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Petitioner v. Lorne Brett HOPKINS, Jr., Respondent.
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
AND NOW, this 24th day of March, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:
Whether, under Pennsylvania law, a search warrant should be invalidated and the resulting evidence suppressed where an affiant truthfully and accurately recites statements made by a self-incriminating co-defendant in an affidavit of probable cause, but the falsity of the co-defendant's statements could not be discovered prior to the issuance of the search warrant?
Justice WECHT did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
