Description
This appeal poses a discrete evidentiary issue of first impression arising out of the operation of Megans Law II: whether the opinion testimony of an expert witness at a hearing to determine if an offender is a sexually violent predator ("SVP"), and is therefore subject to the registration and notification provisions of Megans Law II, is subject to the Pennsylvania test of admissibility for novel scientific testimony derived from Frye v. United States, 293 F. 1013 (D.C. Cir. 1923). The Superior Court held that such testimony is not subject to the Frye test as it does not involve novel scientific evidence. We agree and therefore affirm.
