Respondent
: Petition for Allowance of Appeal
: from the Order of the Superior Court
v.
SHERON JALEN PURNELL,
Petitioner
ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 9th day of December, 2020, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal
is GRANTED. The issues as stated by petitioner are:
(1) Did the Superior Court err in affirming the trial court's decision to permit a dog to
accompany a testifying witness?
(2) Mindful of the rights of the accused, should a showing of need for special
accommodation be required prior to its allowance?
