AND NOW, this 4th day of August 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is
GRANTED LIMITED TO the issue set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to all
remaining issues. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:
(1) Should the mandatory minimum sentence imposed by the
trial court under 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 9714 be vacated, and this
matter remanded for a new sentencing hearing, due to the
fact that § 9714 is unconstitutional as currently drafted?
This matter is consolidated with Commonwealth v. Macklin, 288 MAL 2015 and
Commonwealth v. Sachette, 973 MAL 2015 for oral argument.
Justice Wecht did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
