Opinion
ORDER
AND NOW, this 19th day of April 2011, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, as stated by Petitioner, are:
a. Should not the trial court have had the discretion to permit Petitioner to present the testimony of a nationally recognized expert in the field of human memory, perception and recall where the sole evidence to establish his guilt was the testimony of a victim who was under extreme duress when assaulted at gunpoint by a stranger of another race?
b. Should not the court permit expert scientific testimony, whether it be for the defense or prosecution, on how the *9 mind works as long as such testimony has received general acceptance within the scientific community?
