ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 26th day of May, 2015, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as framed by Petitioner, is as follows:

Did the Superior Court err in affirming the trial judge’s decision precluding the Commonwealth from referencing [Respondent’s] pre-arrest failure to inquire as to the welfare of the victims, specifically the [Respondent’s] spontaneous, self-initiated contact with police, that was not in response to any police questioning, after he arrived at the arson scene of his own volition?
