IN THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA EASTERN DISTRICT

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, : No. 286 EAL 2022 : Respondent : : Petition for Allowance of Appeal : from the Order of the Superior Court v. : : : LEONARD CHAMBERS, : : Petitioner :

ORDER

PER CURIAM AND NOW, this 18th day of April, 2023, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

When a judge orally renders a guilty verdict on an offense by name only, and "not guilty" as to the remaining charges, may a reviewing court ignore the judge's express words and rely on the written sentencing order and the record as a whole to determine which charged offenses the judge intended to include within the conviction, and does doing so violate the double jeopardy protections of the Pennsylvania and Federal Constitutions?
