[J-82-2008][M.O. - Eakin, J.] IN THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA MIDDLE DISTRICT COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, Appellee v. HUGO MARCUS SELENSKI, Appellant : : : : : : : : : : : : : No. 108 MAP 2007 Appeal from the Order of the Superior Court entered on No. 365 MDA 2006 dated 2/6/07, reconsideration denied 4/18/07, reversing the order of Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas, Criminal Division, at No. 3967 of 2003 dated 2/15/06 ARGUED: May 13, 2008 CONCURRING AND DISSENTING OPINION MR. JUSTICE SAYLOR DECIDED: May 26, 2010 I join the passages of the majority opinion through its treatment of the trial court’s and Superior Court’s opinions. However -- since the court of original jurisdiction omitted the necessary, fact-sensitive, due-diligence inquiry -- I would remand for that court to compete its task, rather than attempting to undertake it in the first instance from an appellate vantage.
