Alston v. State, No. 0156, September Term, 2005, COURT OF SPECIAL APPEALS OF MARYLAND, October 3, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Denial of defendant's mistrial motion was not error where the trial court did not give required Md. R. 4-312(h) jury swearing until third day of trial, but before deliberations began; it properly applied harmless error analysis because jury was instructed on need to listen carefully and base verdict solely on evidence before it was actually sworn.
