The opinion

JUSTICE TODD,

Concurring

I join the Majority Opinion, except for Part V. For the reasons expressed by Justice Baer in his Concurring Opinion, *437 see Concurring Opinion (Baer, J.) at 436, 156 A.3d at 256-57, 1 do not join what are, in Part V, essentially advisory statements by the majority.
