CONCURRING STATEMENT

JUSTICE WECHT FILED: September 21, 2020 In Commonwealth v. Reid, A.3d , 2020 WL 4803596 (Pa. filed Aug. 18, 2020), a majority of a special panel of this Court determined that the Supreme Court of the United States' decision in Williams v. Pennsylvania, U.S. , 136 S.Ct. 1899 (2016), could not serve as a basis to establish timeliness for purposes of the Post Conviction Relief Act. I joined the dissent in Reid, and continue to believe that I it correctly explained why Reid had properly established jurisdiction in the PCRA court. This disagreement notwithstanding, Reid is now on the books. Accordingly, I am constrained to join the Court's order to quash the instant appeal.
