ORDER
 

  PER CURIAM
 

  AND NOW, this 14th day of December, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, as stated by petitioner, are:
 

  (1) Because an autopsy report constitutes testimonial hearsay, does not use of that report by another expert as the basis of his own opinion violate the Sixth Amendment guarantee of the right of Confrontation?
 

  (2) Because Rule 703 allows an expert to use inadmissible evidence to form an opinion but does not allow that inadmissible evidence to be used for its truth, did not the Superior Court err in concluding that Rule 703 permitted the testimony in this case where the testifying expert’s opinion has
 

  relevance and probative value
  
   only
  
  if the report he relied on is true?
