COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Respondent v. Anthony MACHICOTE, Petitioner
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
AND NOW, this 22nd day of May, 2018, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by Petitioner, is:
Whether, in order to comply with Miller and its progeny, a court sentencing a juvenile defendant for a crime for which life without parole is an available sentence must review and consider on the record the Miller factors adopted by this Court in Batts I, regardless whether the defendant is ultimately sentenced to life without parole.
