Commonwealth v. Christine

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 25th day of February, 2014, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues are:

(1) Is a conviction for assault, which occurs subsequent to the incident at issue in a criminal trial, admissible to prove the allegedly violent propensities of the victim, where self-defense is asserted and where there is an issue raised as to who was the aggressor?

(2) Did the [t]rial [cjourt commit error of law or abuse its discretion when it permitted the Commonwealth to admit a “shank” as physical evidence, as well as testimony regarding said shank, in the course of the jury trial in the instant matter?
