CONCURRING AND DISSENTING STATEMENT BY
BENDER, J.
¶ 1 While I concur with the majority’s analysis as to issues C, D, and E and with the waiver of issues F, G and H, I respectfully dissent to the majority’s determination as to issues A and B. I believe that because the language of 18 Pa.C.S. § 6312(d)(2) is substantially identical to the language of 42 Pa.C.S. § 9714, issues A and B are controlled by Commonwealth v. Dickerson, 404 Pa.Super. 249, 590 A.2d 766 (1991), aff'd, 533 Pa. 294, 621 A.2d 990 (1993), and that, therefore, the case should be remanded for resentencing consistent with Dickerson. See also Commonwealth v. McClintic, 589 Pa. 465, 909 A.2d 1241, 1247 (2006).
