ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 20th day of February, 2020, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal
is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:
(1) Whether the Superior Court misapplied controlling case law and
misapprehended controlling facts in concluding that the trial court did
not err as a matter of law or abuse its discretion in precluding the
defense from presenting evidence that Larry Thompson, an
individual found at the scene, had been previously arrested for
similar offenses and possessed knowledge of how to manufacture
methamphetamine, to demonstrate that he was the perpetrator of the
present charges?
