ORDER
AND NOW, this 30th day of June, 2009, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED with respect to the following issue, as rephrased for clarity:
If police execute a search warrant and recover evidence which is later suppressed because there was insufficient probable cause for the warrant’s issuance, is evidence seized during the execution of a second search warrant, based on an affidavit of probable cause which contains additional information obtained from another investigation conducted by a police officer from the same department, admissible under the independent source doctrine pursuant to Article One Section Eight of the Pennsylvania Constitution?
