IN THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA MIDDLE DISTRICT COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, Petitioner v. JEFFREY ALAN EDE, Respondent : : : : : : : : : : : : : No. 529 MAL 2008 Petition for Allowance of Appeal from the Opinion and Order of the Superior Court at 949 A.2d 926 (Pa. Super. 2008) (Bender, Allen and Fitzgerald, JJ) affirming in part and vacating in part the Judgment of Sentence of the Court of Common Pleas of Lehigh County (Steinberg, J) DISSENTING STATEMENT MR. JUSTICE SAYLOR FILED: March 26, 2009 I respectfully dissent, as I believe that the circumstances presented are sufficiently distinct from those in Commonwealth v. Shiffler, 879 A.2d 185 (Pa. 2005), and Commonwealth v. Dickerson, 621 A.2d 990 (Pa. 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.
