CAPPY, Justice,

¶4dissenting.

¶5I dissent from the decision of the majority to dismiss this matter as having been improvidently granted. I would reach the issues as presented because I have grave doubts whether 18 Pa.C.S. § 2904(a) was intended to apply to factual situations such as those presented in this case.
