Justice SAYLOR,
dissenting.
The General Assembly has tasked our Superior Court colleagues with finally reviewing the discretionary aspects of sentences and, in doing so, has sharply limited this Court’s jurisdiction in the field. See 42 Pa.C.S. § 9781(f). While I supported a limited prerogative correction in Commonwealth v. Walls, 592 Pa. 557, 926 A.2d 957 (2007), I do not see that further intervention is called for at this time. Rather, I am satisfied that the Superior Court is performing its assigned role in this area of its expertise within the appropriate legal constraints.
