LEROY SPANN v. PENNSYLVANIA BOARD OF PROBATION AND PAROLE AND PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE (2017)

CONCURRING STATEMENT

Although I dissented in the controlling case, Commonwealth v. Muniz, ___ Pa. ___, ___, ____ A.3d ___, ___, 2017 WL 3173066 (July 19, 2017) (Opinion Announcing the Judgment of the Court), I recognize that there was a majority consensus in that decision to the effect that SORNA exacts punishment and retroactive application of the enactment violates constitutional norms. Accordingly, while I have expressed my disagreement with these propositions, see id. at ___, ___ A.3d at ___, 2017 WL 3173066, at *34-39 (Saylor, C.J., dissenting), I join the present per curiam order based on the prevailing precedent.
