Commonwealth v. Fields

Opinion of the Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 28th day of March, 2013, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

Did the Superior Court disregard the plain language of the “second strike” mandatory sentencing provision of the repeat-violent-offender statute when it held that the provision applied to only one of the multiple crimes of violence that [respondent], a previously-convicted rapist and burglar, committed in a later, second criminal episode in which he again raped a woman and burglarized her home?
