ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 12th day of March, 2019, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal
is GRANTED. The issues, rephrased for clarity, are:
a. Does a juvenile court violate the Fifth Amendment by holding a juvenile’s
failure to admit guilt against him during a certification hearing?
b. Did the Superior Court erroneously conclude that a juvenile court does not
abuse its discretion by holding a juvenile’s failure to admit guilt against him
during a certification hearing because the court also considered other
statutorily-required factors when making its certification decision?
