OPINION
Justice NEWMAN.
Damon Jones (“Jones”) appeals from the Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County (“PCRA court”) denying portions of his Petition for Post-Conviction Relief pursuant to the Post Conviction Relief Act (“PCRA”).1 The Commonwealth cross-appeals the Order of the PCRA court granting relief in the form of a new penalty hearing. For the reasons set forth herein, we affirm the Order of the PCRA court insofar as it denied a new trial and vacate the Order to the extent that it granted a new penalty hearing.
