STEVEN CARVER v. STATE OF MARYLAND
Bcause the Court of Appeals addressed the same issue about Kopera’s perjury and held, in Douglas v. State, 423 Md. 156, 165 (2011), that a hearing was required, we conclude that the circuit court erred in denying Carver a hearing on his petition for a writ of actual innocence.
GENESIS COLLINS v. STATE OF MARYLAND
Did the trial court err in not merging appellant’s conviction for first-degree assault into his conviction for involuntary manslaughter or, alternatively, did the trial court err in not merging his conviction for involuntary manslaughter into his first-degree assault conviction?
TREMAINE LAMONT KITCHEN v. STATE OF MARYLAND
Following denial of what he claimed was his “fourth” motion to correct an illegal sentence, Kitchen presents four questions which are reducible to one: Was the verdict invalid, and hence the sentence illegal, because the clerk did not poll the foreman when polling the jury as to their verdict?
NELSON CLIFFORD v. STATE OF MARYLAND
Appellant presents one issue for our review: whether the trial court committed plain error in failing to instruct the jury on the “claim of right” defense to the charge of theft.
MICHAEL DeLOATCH v. STATE OF MARYLAND
Did the trial judge erroneously decline to receive in evidence a statement the appellant gave to the police in its entirety? Did the judge erroneously refuse a request from a juror to have a written copy of a witness's testimony?
JERMAINE HICKS v. STATE OF MARYLAND
Did the trial court err by admitting part of a recording of telephone call between wife and husband in jail? Did the trial court cause reversible error by denying appellant’s motion for a mistrial made during the prosecutor’s rebuttal closing argument?
JUAN ARTIGA v. STATE OF MARYLAND
Artiga presents two questions for review: 1. Did the trial court err in admitting a tape recording of a 911 call into evidence? 2. Did the trial court err in refusing Artiga’s request for a postponement?
MICHAEL STEIN v. MARYLAND TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
As MDTA correctly notes, the sole authority for setting the “Standard Pay Plan” rests with the Secretary of Budget and Management. Moreover, the ALJ properly found geography to be the primary motivation for hiring ICC ERTs at a higher step.
RAY GLASGOW v. STATE OF MARYLAND
Though the delay in this matter was protracted, the reasons for it were generally reasonable. Appellant did assert his right to a speedy trial, but did not demonstrate the most significant type of prejudice, viz., impairment of his defense.
JAMES CROSSLEY v. STATE OF MARYLAND
1. Did the trial court commit reversible error in denying Appellant’s motion to suppress an out-of-court identification based on an improperly suggestive photo array? 2. Did the trial court violate Appellant’s Confrontation Clause rights when, during cross-examination, it denied Appellant a full and fair opportunity to explore the issue of bias?
MATTHEW HARPER v. STATE OF MARYLAND
We do not find it necessary to inquire into the merits of the alleged flaws in the verdict-rendering process. We agree with the State that they deal with alleged procedural flaws that are not cognizable under Maryland Rule 4-345
DEONTRAE LUCAS, et al. v. POLICE OFFICER HAYES I340, et al.
More than three years after the plaintiffs suffered injury, they filed an amended complaint in which they added “Police Officer Fuller [badge no.] H059,” and “Police Officer Williams [badge no.] H319.” The first names of Officers Fuller and Williams were not provided.
