COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Respondent v. William Albert ROBERTS, Petitioner


ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW , this 12th day of September, 2023, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED . The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

Is the evidence insufficient to convict a person for failure to register under SORNA when the Commonwealth fails to prove that the defendant knew of and was [non-compliant] with his registration obligations, or as the Superior Court held, the Commonwealth need only prove that the person knew he did not register, even if he had no knowledge that he was required to do so?
