Opinion of the Court
ORDER
AND NOW, this 17th day of July, 2013, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue is:
In upholding a sentence that exceeds the statutory maximum explicitly set out in 75 Pa.C.S. § 3803, did not the majority violate the rules of statutory construction in order to avoid what it saw as “problematic consequences” resulting from a straightforward application of the statute?
