Description
This is a direct appeal from an order of the trial court granting appellee's motion for a stay of execution. We granted review of this matter in order to determine whether the trial court had jurisdiction to enter the stay and to set forth the appropriate standard of review this court should employ in reviewing stays of execution. The Commonwealth urges this court to reverse the order of the trial court on the basis that the trial court was without authority to enter the stay of execution outside the parameters set forth in 42 Pa.C.S. §9545(c). We agree with the Commonwealth and accordingly, vacate the stay of execution.
