COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, Respondent v. COREY MICHAEL STROPE, Petitioner
Petition for Allowance of Appeal from the Order of the Superior Court
ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 17th day of December, 2024, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, rephrased for clarity, is:
Does the Superior Court's precedent in Commonwealth v. Sutton, 313 A.3d 1071 (Pa. Super. 2024), erroneously create an exception to Commonwealth v. Harris, 315 A.3d 26 (Pa. 2024), by allowing the Commonwealth to establish a prima facie case using only hearsay evidence to identify the defendant, where a confidential informant is the declarant?
The Prothonotary is directed to list this case for argument with Commonwealth v. Sutton, 90 MAP 2024.
