dissent opinion

Justice SAYLOR,

Dissenting.

I respectfully dissent, as I believe that the circumstances presented are sufficiently distinct from those in Commonwealth v. Shiffler, 583 Pa. 478, 879 A.2d 185 (2005), and Commonwealth v. Dickerson, 533 Pa. 294, 621 A.2d 990 (1993), to suggest against summary treatment at the allocatur stage of the proceedings. Instead, I would allow the appeal only and resolve the matter upon full briefing.
