COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Respondent v. Jason A. DOUGHTY, Petitioner
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
AND NOW, this 9th day of October, 2014, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue is:
Whether the [h]olding of this Honorable Supreme Court in Commonwealth v. Brachbill, [520 Pa. 533] 555 A.2d 82, 92 (1989), should be partially overturned[ ] or clarified so that it isn’t in conflict with the plain language reading of 18 Pa.C.S.[ ] § 4952 and in conflict with the well[-]recognized rule of statutory construction that penal statutes must be strictly construed.
