The issue, as stated by Petitioner, is: Did the Superior Court err in reversing the order entered November 14, 2019, by departing from [the] standard of review for the admission or exclusion of evidence and so conflicted with binding precedent inasmuch as the Superior Court engaged in a de novo examination of the challenged evidence rather than reviewing the [t]rial [c]ourt’s exercise of discretion?
