“"The jury is thus not permitted to consider the nontestifying co-defendant’s confession in assessing the defendant’s culpability. Redaction, in which all testimonial references to anyone other than the declarant are omitted from the confession, has been approved as an appropriate method of protecting a defendant’s rights under Bruton. Commonwealth v. Johnson, 474 Pa. 410 , 378 A.2d 859 (1977). It must also be recognized, however, that in certain instances a confession cannot be effectively redacted without prejudicing the declarant, (citations omitted.)” Young, supra, 263 Pa.Super., at 337, 397 A.2d at 1237 .”
