ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 27th day of October, 2015, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal
is GRANTED. The issue, as set forth by Petitioner, is as follows:
Whether the lower court erred when it denied Duvall’s
motion to suppress as involuntary his confession during a
non-custodial interrogation where (a) the trooper repeatedly
— and admittedly — lied about DNA evidence and proof of
penetration, (b) Duvall repeatedly denied having sex with
[the victim], (c) the trooper told Duvall that a jury would not
believe him, [and] (d) the confession did not fit the
accusation beyond the act of sex?
