CHIEF JUSTICE CASTILLE DECIDED: May 28, 2014 I join the Majority Opinion with the exception of footnote 12, which distinguishes Commonwealth v. Walker, __ A.3d __ (Pa. 2014), which is decided in concert with this case. I wrote separately in dissent in Walker, and thus my core position requires no distinction of the two cases.
