The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Eastern District, granted the Petition for Allowance of Appeal in the case Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Kareem Johnson (No. 339 EAL 2018) on December 19, 2018. The central issue is whether the Commonwealth's misrepresentation of physical evidence during Johnson's first trial should prevent a retrial based on double jeopardy, despite the trial court's determination that the misconduct was unintentional. Additionally, Johnson's motion to remand the case to the Court of Common Pleas for further development of his double jeopardy motion, based on newly discovered evidence, was denied.
