COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Respondent v. Robert Lee DUVALL, Petitioner.
    Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
    Oct. 27, 2015.
   ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 27th day of October, 2015, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as set forth by Petitioner, is as follows:

Whether the lower court erred when it denied Duvall’s motion to suppress as involuntary his confession during a noncustodial interrogation where (a) the trooper repeatedly — and admittedly— lied about DNA evidence and proof of penetration, (b) Duvall repeatedly denied having sex with [the victim], (c) the trooper told Duvall that a jury would not believe him, [and] (d) the confession did not fit the accusation beyond the act of sex?
