:
:
PETITION OF: J.B. : Petition for Allowance of Appeal from
: the Order of the Superior Court
ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 21st day of June, 2017, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is hereby
GRANTED, LIMITED to the following issues, as stated by Petitioner:
1. Did the Superior Court err in holding that the evidence
adduced at [J.B.’s juvenile adjudication hearing], when
viewed in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth as
the verdict winner, was sufficient to establish beyond a
reasonable doubt that Appellant J.B. committed the crimes in
question?
2. Did the Superior Court err in holding that the juvenile
court committed no palpable abuse of discretion in finding
that Appellant J.B. committed the crimes in question, when
the verdict was against the weight of the evidence
introduced at [his juvenile adjudication hearing]?
The Petition is otherwise DENIED.
Justices Donohue and Wecht did not participate in the decision of this matter.
