Supreme Court of Maryland: Fourth Amendment, reasonable suspicion
Fourth Amendment — reasonable suspicion
D.N.M. v. State of Maryland
Criminal Law—Evidence—S.T. Trial court erred in admitting a Snapchat message sent by the appellant the day before the shooting, as it lacked relevance and was highly prejudicial to his self-defense claim.
W.R. v. State of Maryland
Criminal Law—Assault—S.T. Trial court found that Richardson was a mutual aggressor in a gunfight and that imperfect self-defense did not apply to his conviction for first-degree assault.
D.A.G. v. State of Maryland
Criminal Law—Sentencing—I.A.T. Trial court erred in failing to merge the sentence for reckless endangerment with the sentence for first-degree assault because all facts to prove reckless endangerment were included in the first-degree assault.
R.R. v. State of Maryland
Criminal Law—E.A.—Possession of H.T. Circuit court did not err in admitting evidence of R.O. 2022 arrest for possession of a firearm, finding it relevant to establish his identity in the August 2022 shooting.
M.H. v. State of Maryland
Criminal Law—J.I.—I.T. Court erred in responding “no” to the jury’s question regarding whether Harvey needed to specifically intend to kill the victim to be convicted of first-degree murder.
D.A.K. v. State of Maryland
Criminal Law—Evidentiary Exclusion—Brady Violation The circuit court properly excluded evidence of the victim's pending charges and the late-disclosed body camera footage did not constitute a Brady violation.
R.M. v. K.D.B.
Post-Conviction—Foreclosure—Equitable Interest The circuit court did not abuse its discretion in overruling Mr. Malinowski’s post-sale exceptions and ratifying the sale of the Property, as he lacked any present equitable interest.
Z.C. v. State of Maryland
Criminal Law—Mistrial—Discovery Violation The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Ciccantelli’s motion for a mistrial after the State’s late disclosure of a recorded witness interview, finding that the prejudice could be cured.
D.W. v. State of Maryland
Criminal Law—Search and Seizure—Fourth Amendment The State charged appellant Daquawn Webb with possession of oxycodone and firearm offenses, leading to a motion to suppress evidence that the court ultimately denied.
L.T. v. State of Maryland
Criminal Law—Possession—Sentencing The evidence was sufficient to sustain Appellant’s convictions for possession of fentanyl and related offenses, as he was the driver of the vehicle where the drugs were found.
C.E.B. v. State of Maryland
Criminal Law—Assault—Jury Instructions The trial court did not abuse its discretion in declining to give the Witness Promised Benefit jury instruction, affirming Baker's conviction on multiple counts including first-degree assault.
