OPINION BY

BOWES, J.:

On appeal from an order suppressing evidence, we “consider only the evidence from the defendant’s witnesses together with the evidence of the prosecution that, when read in the context of the entire record, remains uncontradicted. The suppression court’s findings of fact bind an appellate court if the record supports those findings.” Commonwealth v. Baez, 21 A.3d 1280, 1282…
