AND NOW, this 31st day of July, 2000, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is granted. The parties are ordered to brief the following issues:

(2) Whether the court of common pleas and the Superior Court erred by allowing the Commonwealth to appeal from appellants' acquittal and further err by ordering a new trial after the acquittal?
