COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. NASHIR FISHER (2012)

ORDER

AND NOW, this 15 th day of February, 2012, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED.   The issues, rephrased for clarity, are:

1. Is conspiracy to commit third-degree murder a cognizable offense under Pennsylvania law?

2. In the alternative, if conspiracy to commit third-degree murder is not a cognizable offense under Pennsylvania's law, did the Superior Court contradict this Court's precedent by failing to modify the judgment to a cognizable offense, i.e., conspiracy to commit aggravated assault?

It is further ordered that this appeal is consolidated with the appeals at 144 EAL 2011 and 277 EAL 2011.   A briefing schedule in these appeals will issue as directed at 144 EAL 2011.
