Cathcart v. State, No. 2758, September Term, 2004, COURT OF SPECIAL APPEALS OF MARYLAND, June 30, 2006, Filed
View this case - free

Wyatt v. State, No. 2910, September Term, 2004, COURT OF SPECIAL APPEALS OF MARYLAND, June 30, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: As prior conviction for attempted felony theft was conviction for misdemeanor for which defendant could have been subjected to prison term of more than two years, trial court did not err by ruling he could be found liable for possessing regulated firearm after conviction of "disqualifying crime" under Md. Code Ann., Pub. Safety § 5-133(b)(1).

Brown v. State, No. 154, September Term 2005, COURT OF SPECIAL APPEALS OF MARYLAND, July 3, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Where pattern jury instruction on imperfect self-defense was improperly amended to allow for lesser conviction of assault, amendment was not plain error under Md. R. 4-325(e). Counsel had tactical reason for failing to object to instruction. There was remote possibility that jury would have believed that imperfect self-defense was applicable.
