Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 19th day of September, 2017, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue presented by Petitioner and rephrased for clarity is:

Whether a defendant’s assertion of innocence based on the sufficiency of the evidence and his inability to reconcile entering a plea when he maintained his innocence well before the time of his sentencing and when the Commonwealth made no argument of prejudice, is sufficient to establish a fair and just reason for withdrawing his plea of nolo conten-dere?
