ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 19th day of June, 2018, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is
GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:
Does not a sentence of 50 years to life imposed upon a juvenile constitute
a de facto life sentence requiring the sentencing court, as mandated by this
Court in Commonwealth v. Batts, 163 A.3d 410 (Pa. 2017) (“Batts II”), first
find permanent incorrigibility, irreparable corruption or irretrievable
depravity beyond a reasonable doubt?
