- conspirators to testify at trial. For the reasons below, we affirm. Appellant’s convictions stem from a December 11, 2016, burglary of the familial home of Ninja Barnes, Jamil Barnes, and their son I. B. Trial Ct. Op. 7/5/21, at 2. “[B]efore 9:30 p.m.[,]” two men , later identified as Justin Savage 4 and Marvel Grierson, knocked on the door of the Barnes’s home on Devereaux Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Id. at 2

was at the d oor and one of the men said, “G [ 5 ] or Johnathan.” Id. at 2. I.B. opened the door and two masked gunmen came into the home. Id. During the incident , Grierson sustained a gunshot wound to his leg and both men fled the home “toward a waiting sedan . . . driven by a third male[.]” Id. at 4. After the crime , video surveillance footage from Hahnemann hospital showed an individual, later identified as Appellant, taking Grierson to the emergency room for treatment of his gunshot wound.

response, asserting that the clerk of courts failed to enter an order denying his post

- sentence motion by operation of law on the docket . Appellant’s Response to Rule to Show Cause, 10/23/20, at 1

- 2. Our review of the record reveals t hat although an order denying Appellant’s post

- sentence motion by operation of law was entered on the docket, there is no indication that the order was ever sent to Appellant as required by Pa.R.Crim.P. 720(B)(3)(c)

. See id. (“When a post

- sentence motion is denied by operation of law, the clerk of courts shall [ ] enter an order on behalf of the court, and .

Because this constitutes a breakdown in the operation of the courts, we decline to quash Appellant’s ap peal as untimely. See Commonwealth v. Perry , 820 A.2d 734, 735 (Pa. Super. 2003) (“where the clerk of courts does not enter an order indicating that the post

1925(b) , wherein he challenged: (1) the trial court’s exclusion of expert witness testimony; (2) the sufficiency of the evidence; (3) the admission of

co - conspirator testimony; (4) the admission of testimony from the prosecutor who handled co

- conspirator’s guilty pleas; (5) the weight of the evidence; and (6) the discretionary aspects of the imposed sentence. Appellant’s Statement of Errors Complained of On Appeal, 3/22/21, at 1

- 6. Appellant raises the following claims on appeal:
1. Did the trial court abuse its discretion by excluding Appellant’s proposed expert on eyewitness mis identification? 2. Did the trial court violate Appellant’s due process right to present a complete defense by excluding Appellant’s proposed expert witness on e yewitness misidentification? 3. Did the trial court abuse its discretion by allowing the government to call all of Appellant’s co [

- ] defendants and having the trial prosecutor cross examine them to testify that they had ple aded guilty including that they consp ired with Appellant? Appellant’s Brief at 4. 9
As all of Appellant’s claims challenge the admission of evidence, [ a ppellate c ourts] apply an evidentiary abuse of discretion standard of review. The admission of evidence is committed to the sound discretion of the trial court, and a trial court ’ s ruling regarding the admission of evidence will not be disturbed on appeal unless that ruling reflects manifest unreasonableness, or

_________________ __________ ______ ____ _______ 9 Appellant has, therefore, waived the other claims raised in his 1925(b) statement. See Pa.R.A.P. 2119( a), (c) (argument must have discussion of pertinent authority and appropriate citation to the record); Commonwealth v. Sipps , 225 A.3d 1110, 1116 (Pa.

partiality, prejudice, bias, or ill

- will, or such lack of support to be clearly erroneous. Commonwealth v. Moser , 999 A.2d 602, 605 (Pa. Super. 2010) (citation omitted). We review a challenge to a trial court’s ruling on a motion in limine by the same standard as the admission of evidence at trial. Id. In his first claim, A ppellant argues that the trial court abused its discretion when it denied his motion in limine to admit purported expert witness testimony regarding eyewitness misidentification. Appellant’s Brief at 40. Appellant maintains that the trial court erred whe n it concluded that “none of the factors” relevant to a potential misidentification were present here. Appellant’s Brief at 46

- 47. Appellant contends that the Commonwealth “depended solely or primarily” on eyewitness identification and this evidence

was “critical” to its case. Id. at 49 (internal quotation marks omitted) . He further argues that there is no t an “abundance of circumstantial evidence[,]”

non - identification evidence, or substantial corroborating evidence that could connect Appellant to the neighbor’s security footage. Id. at 48, 50, 52

- 53. Appellant then avers that the trial court “did not cautiously cross - examine Dr. Mannes in a brief, unbiased manner” as it should have. Id. at 41. Instead, he insists the trial court examined Dr. Mannes “for approximately four times as long as” the Commonwealth and “asked questions and made statements that only helped” the Commonwealth. Id. at 42. To determine if evidence is admissible, the trial court must first determine if it is relevant. Pa.R.E. 402; Commonwealth v. Bergen , 142 A.3d 847, 850 (Pa. Super. 2016). Evidence is relevant when it hasJ

any tendency to make a fact more or less probable than it would be without the evidence [ , ] and the fact is of consequence in determining the action. Pa.R.E. 401(a), (b). However, pursuant to Rule 403, “ [t]he court may exclude relevant evidence if its pro bative value is outweighed by a danger of

. . . confusing the issues [or] misleading the jury[.] ” Pa.R.E. 403. Bergen , 142 A.3d at 850 (some internal quotation marks omitted). When expert testimony is at issue, we are guided by Pennsylvania Rule of Evide nce 702, which states a witness qualified as an expert “may testify in the form of an opinion or otherwise if . . . the expert's scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge is beyond that possessed by the average layperson [,] will help the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue [, and their] methodology is generally accepted in the relevant field. ” Pa.R.E. 702(a)

- (c). In support of his argument, Appellant compares the current matter to the following cases: Comm onwealth v. Thomas , 215 A.3d 36 (Pa. 2019); 10 Commonwealth v. Walker , 92 A.3d 766 (Pa. 2017) ; Commonwealth v.
Brown , 200 A.3d 986 (Pa. Super. 2018) ; and Commonwealth v Selenski , 158 A.3d 102 (Pa. Super. 2017)

. Appellant’s Brief at 41

- 53. However, it is

c lear the controlling case concerning the admission of expert testimony on eyewitness misidentification is Walker . We conclude Walker is distinguishable on the facts.

In Walker , the appellant was accused of committing two gunpoint robberies. Walker , 92 A.3d at 769. In the first robbery, he held three victims at gunpoint. Id. 769

- 70. Two of the victims identified the appellant from photo arrays and one of those same victims i dentified the appellant at a later
in

- person line

- up. Id. at 770. During the second robbery, two victims were held at gunpoint, and both later identified the appellant as the perpetrator after viewing photo arrays. Id. “The sole evidence connecting [th e a]ppellant to the robberies was eyewitness identification by the victims.” Id. Walker filed a motion in limine to admit expert testimony regarding the fallibility of eyewitness identification. Walker , 92 A.3d at 77 0

- 7 1. The trial court denied the motion, stating Pennsylvania case law held that expert testimony concerning eyewitness identification was inadmissibl e because it would have an “ unwarranted appearance of authority on the eyewitness ’ s credibility [.]” Id. at 771. The appellant was subsequently convicted of the second robbery, but acquitted of the first. Id. A panel of this Court affirmed the appellant ’s judgment of sentence on direct appeal. Id. at 772. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court granted allocatur review “to consider whether a trial court may permit, in its discretion, the testimony of an expert in the field of eyewitness identification. ” Walk er , 92 A.3d at 772. Walker argued that certain factors were relevant to make jurors “ aware of the variables that impact eyewitness accuracy ” and they were “ critical to ‘ a fair adjudication of the truth

. ’” Id. at 774. The factors include :J

- A16016

- 22

- 10

-

(1) the phenomenon of ‘ weapons focus ’ ; (2) the reduced reliability of identification in cross

- racial identification cases; (3) the significantly decreased accuracy in eyewitness identifications in high

- stress/traumatic cri minal events; (4) increased risk of mistaken identification when police investigators do not warn a witness, prior to viewing a photo array or line up, that the perpetrator may or may not be in the display; and (5) the lack of a strong correlation between witness statements of confidence and witness accuracy. Id. at 773

. Our Supreme Court agreed and concluded such expert testimony on the limited issue of eyewitness identification as raised in this appeal may be admissible, at the discretion of the trial court, and assuming the expert is qualified, the proffered testimony relevant, and will assist the trier of fact.

.

. . The admission must be properly tailored to whether the testimony will focus on particular characteristics of the identification at issue and explain how those characteristics call into question the reliability of the identification.

. . . Id. at 792. Further, the Court opined that to have the evidence admitted,
the defendant must make an on

- the

- record detailed proffer to the court, including an explanation of precisely how the expert ’ s testimony is relevant to the eyewitness identifications under consideration and how it will assist the jury in its evaluation. The proof should establish the presence of [the above] factors

. . . whic h may be shown to impair the accuracy of eyewitness identification in aspects which are (or to a degree which is) beyond the common understanding of laypersons. Id. We agree with the trial court’s conclusion that none of the Walker factors were present in the case before us . Trial Ct. Op. at 20, 22. First, we note that although Appellant offered Dr. Mannes’ testimony to show that the eyewitness identification was unreliable based on Walker , her testimony amounted to observations t hat the length of the videos were short, and theJ

- A16016

- 22

- 11

-

video s ’ quality did not show full and unobstructed views of Appellant’s face. N.T., 2/1/19, at 75, 77. Dr. Mannes opined that she was “not sure” that the videos had enough information for a person to have a “detailed impression” of the individuals in the videos, but admitted this is something the jurors could

“ [ p ] ossibly” assess from viewing the video s themselves. Id. at 93. Regarding the Walker factors, s ince Appellant never entered the home, the victim s would not have been distracted by the presence of a weapon, nor would they have mis identified him based on his presence during a traumatic
event

. See Walker , 92 A.3d at 773. Moreover, there was no cross

- racial identification issue , the police did not p resent a photo array or line up, and the trial court did not believe the confidence in the victims’ identifications impacted the ir accuracy since the victims knew Appellant for nearly three decades prior to the incident

. See id. ; Trial Ct. Op. at 22

- 23. The remain in g cases Appellant cites are also distinguishable for similar

reasons. See Thomas , 215 A.3d at 50 ( trial court did not err in excluding expert testimony on eyewitness identification because eyewitness testimony was not the primary evidence of defendant’s guilt ) ; Brown , 200 A.3d at 991 (trial court did not abuse its discretion when it excluded expert witness testimony on eyewitness identification because the Commonwealth offered independent corroborating evidence); Selenski , 158 A.3d at 116 (trial court did not abuse its discretion when it excluded expert testimony regarding eyewitness identification because the Commonwealth presentedJ

circumstantial evidence and “was not solely or primarily dependent” on eyewitness identification). Further, the Commonwealth offered other corroborating evidence, such as the distinct clothing Appellant wore in the hospital surveillance video, the car jointly owned by Appellant and Justin Savage, and the blood in the backseat of the car that belonged to Grierson. Trial Ct. Op. at 23. Appellant failed to demonstrate an abuse of discretion since the evidence supported the trial court’s determination that Dr. Mannes’ testimony was not relevant, would not aid the jury, and where the Commonwealth was not re lying “solely or primarily” on eyewitness identification. See Walker , 92 A.3d at 787. Appellant also argues the trial court “did not cautiously cross

- examine Dr. Mannes in a brief, unbiased manner” as it should have. Appellant’s Brief
at 41. In suppor t of this argument , Appellant cites Commonwealth v. Seabrook , 379 A.2d 564, 568 (Pa. 1977)

. In Seabrook , the appellant argued the trial court abused its discretion when it showed “pro

- prosecution bias” while it questioned a witness during a suppression hearing

. Id. at 566. Ultimately the Pennsylvania Supreme Court concluded the trial court did not abuse its discretion because the questioning (1) occupied “three and one

- half pages in a 107 page record[;]” (2) drew rational inferenc es from the evidence; and (3) asked questions which “did the Commonwealth’s case no good.” Id.
at 568 (footnote omitted)

. Upon review of the record, we conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it examined Dr. Mannes. While the trial cou rt engaged in aJ

- A16016

- 22

- 13

-

lengthy examination of the witness, a review of the transcript demonstrates it did so to seek an explanation of how her expertise was relevant to the salient facts, and to clarify her research methods and sources, a topic which neither part y adequately questioned her. N.T., 2/1/19, at 85

- 99. The length of the trial court’s questioning does not, alone, reflect an abuse of discretion. See Seabrook , 379 A.2d at 567

- 68 ( I t is proper for a trial court to question a witness regarding facts “which did not appear from either counsel’s
examination [.] ” A trial court has a duty to “ascertain the truth” in criminal proceedings , which may “necessitate[ ] interrogation of witnesses to clear up some doubtful fact” ) ( citations and internal quotation marks omitted). Like Seabrook , t he nature of the trial court’s questions also no not reflect a bias towards any one party. Instead, the examination illustrated a thorough inquiry into the usefulness of Dr. Mannes’ specific claimed expertise. Thus,

n o re lief is due on Appellant’s first issue

. In his second claim, Appellant argues that the trial court deprived him of his right to due process by not allowing him to present a “complete defense” when it excluded expert witness testimony. Appellant’s Brief at 54. Appellant avers that Dr. Mannes’ testimony “could have given [the] jury a scientific, professional perspective . . . about why” the eyewitness testimony was “inherently unreliable.” Id. at 57. Appellant insists that absent this testimony, the jur y had no basis “beyond the word of [his] counsel” that the identification testimony may have been unreliable. Id. at 58.J

- A16016

- 22

- 14

-

We agree with the trial court’s determination that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ’s Walker decision does not “grant carte blanch to admission of expert testimony

. ” Trial Ct. Op. at 16. To the contrary, the Walker decision limits the admission of such testimony and leaves the decision of admissib ility to the trial court’s discretion. See Walker , 92 A.3d at 792. For the reasons stated above, we conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it excluded irrelevant evidence that would not aid the jury in its fact

- finding duties. No relief is due. 11 In his final argument, Appellant avers the trial court a bused its discretion when it allowed his co

- defendants to testify that they pled guilty

_________________ __________ ______ ____ _______ 11 We note this Court’s recent decision, Commonwealth v. Robinson , __ A.3d __, 1127 EDA 2021 (Pa. Super. June 27, 2022), addresses expert testimony concerning eyewitness identification. In Robinson , another panel of this Court granted the defendant a new trial on p ost

- c onviction review after it concluded counsel was ineffective for not offering eyewitness identification expert testimony based on the following : (1) the Commonwealth’s case was based “solely or primarily” on eyewitness identification; (2) the Walker factors were present ; (3) counsel for the defendant raised a misidentification defense; and (4) as a result, the defendant was prejudiced by counsel’s actions

. Robinson , __ A. 3d__, __, 11 27 EDA 2021, at 11, 12

- 13 n.4, 16. The panel emphasized the “limited nature” of the decision, stating that while expert testimony on eyewitness identification is permitted, it is not required. Id. at 24

. Robinson is distinguishable both procedurally an d factually from the present matter

. Here, Appellant has raised a challenge to the trial court’s discretion when it did not admit Dr. Mannes’ testimony, where as the defendant in Robinson challenged counsel’s ineffectiveness for failing to call an expert w itness. Further, as discussed supra , the Commonwealth presented additional evidence of Appellant’s guilt and the factors outlined in Walker are not present.J

and conspired with Appellant to commit the offenses charged . Appellant’s Brief at 58. Appellant maintains this evidence was inadmissible as unfairly prejudicial by de monstrating to the jury “the case against [him] had already twice been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.” Id. at 59. Appellant also insists the trial court’s warning to both co

- defendants pertaining to perjury “unduly influenced them” to change their tes timony. Id. at 60

- 61. Preliminarily, the Commonwealth contends Appellant’s challenge s to the admission of his co - defendant s’ testimony are waived. See Commonwealth’s Brief at 51

- 53. First, it insists that Appellant did not raise specific object ions at trial on the basis that the testimony was unfairly prejudicial or that the court’s perjury warnings were inappropriate

. Commonwealth ’s Brief at 50

- 51

. Moreover, it asserts Appellant’s claim that the trial court abused its discretion when it warned his co

- defendants of the potential consequences of perjury is also waived because Appellant failed to include this claim in his Pa.R.A.P. 1925(b) statement

. Commonwealth’s Brief at 53. Upon our own review, we agree with the Commonwealth that Appellant failed to preserve , in the trial
court , either of these issu es he now raises on appeal

. See N.T., 10/10/19, at 142 (counsel objects to reading of Grierson’s plea colloquy based on hearsay grounds); N.T., 10/11/19, at 20 (counsel objects to reading of Justin Savage’s plea colloquy based on hearsay and confrontation clause grounds) ; see also Appellant’s Statement of Errors Complained of On Appeal at 1

. Thus, Appellant’s argument s here are waived for our review

. See Pa.R.A.P. 302(a) ( “ Issues not raised in the trial court are waived and cannot be raised for theJ

Super. 2017) (concluding challenges to the admissibility of evidence were waived when the appellant did not make timely and specific objections
in the trial court ). In any event, had Appellant preserved his objection that the admission of his co

- defendants’ testimony was unfairl y prejudicial, we would rest on the trial court’s opinion: 12

By its very nature, the testimony of both co

- defendants was relevant to prove Appellant’s secret participation in the conspiracy to rob and assault the Barnes’ family members in their home. E ach defendant was subjected to examination before the jury by all parties through their counsel. Thus, this admissible evidence far outweighed any prejudicial impact because it supported identification of Appellant as a perpetrator. As such, Appellant wa s not unduly prejudiced. Trial Ct. Op. at 26. Judgment of sentence affirmed.
