Concurring Statement by
DEL SOLE, Judge:
I join the Opinion authored by Judge Hudock. I believe that the burden of controlling agreements between local police and suspects should rest "with the local District Attorney’s office, as expressed in my Concurring Statement in Commonwealth v. Stipetich, 423 Pa.Super. 427, 621 A.2d 606, (1993).
*472I further read Judge Cavanaugh’s dissent in this matter as an endorsement of the Majority’s disposition. Specifically, Judge Cavanaugh acknowledges that our system of law may relieve unfairness through “accepted avenues of judicial nullification.” Dissenting Opinion at 469. I view the granting of a motion enforcing an agreement following a hearing before a trial judge under the standards we set forth today in these companion cases, as an accepted avenue of judicial nullification.
