• explaining that when standing issues turn on questions of fact, the court should hear evidence
• noting our deference to a trial court’s factual findings where those findings are required to resolve preliminary objections
• asserting the Commonwealth did not “establish[] that it is a controlled substance[,] and that’s one of the requirements for” a conviction of PWID
