¶1CONCURRING OPINION BY

MUSMANNO, J.:

¶2I concur in the result reached by the Majority. However, I am troubled by the admission into evidence of the victim’s letter, which clearly is inadmissible hearsay.

¶3CONCURRING OPINION BY

LAZARUS, J.:

¶4I concur with the result reached by the Majority based upon the meticulous opinion authored by my colleague, Judge Mun-dy. In her decision, she adeptly sets forth the quantum of evidence which is necessary to overcome the prejudice from the *1120victim’s letter, which is clearly hearsay, and make its admission harmless error.
