    COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Respondent, v. Lawrence SMITH, Petitioner.
    Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
    Dec. 18, 2002.
   ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 18th day of December, 2002, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal will be granted as to the following:

Whether the Superior Court erred when it affirmed the lower court’s denial of the defendant’s right to a new trial where the Commonwealth presented hearsay evidence at trial of a eo-de-fendant’s guilty plea where that co-defendant had not gone to trial with the defendant and where the defendant objected, in timely fashion, to the introduction of the guilty plea evidence.
