PER CURIAM

     AND NOW, this 13th day of May, 2015, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED. The issue is:



     Did Superior Court err by overturning a murder conviction on the ground that —
     contrary to the plain terms of the Statutory Construction Act — the trial judge
     should not have applied the law in effect at the time of the homicide?
