DISSENTING OPINION BY
COLVILLE, J.:
¶ 1 Oral argument on Appellant’s pretrial motion for a taint hearing concerning the two child witnesses was held before the Honorable Kathleen Durkin. Judge Durkin took the matter under advisement and later denied the motion. However, she did not write an opinion on her decision. I would remand for the preparation of an opinion by Judge Durkin because I believe the absence of that opinion hampers our review of the propriety of denying the pretrial motion. Accordingly, I dissent from the Majority’s affirmance of the judgment of sentence.
