See the bolded parts? Appellate courts (such as the Maryland Court of Special Appeals) review judgments, orders, decrees, and other actions taken by trial courts.

See the part in bold red? That's the part YOU made up and tacked on to the description, to change its meaning to suit your purposes.

It didn't say "other actions taken by trial courts". It said other actions, period.

A charging statement is one of those "other actions" that can be appealed.

And by the way, I found a nifty tutuorial white paper that covers (among other things) prosecutorial misconduct, one facet of which is laying charges. As well as several examples of appellate court case law that turns on the prosecutor's laying of charges. They are mostly federal appeals of state criminal court cases. I'm sure there are more, too, but I stopped looking when I found what I needed.

So I stand by my original claim: you lie.

So, show me a single case where a charging statement has ever been considered an appealable action. Prove me wrong.

You can’t. Because it’s not. And you know it. So you evade, evade, evade, and insult, insult, insult. You have not made a single statement of any substance in this entire thread.

I’m done with your obtuse nonsense. I have some actual legal work to attend to, as opposed to arguing with morons on the internet. And no, that work doesn’t involve appealing charging statements - because I don’t want to face sanctions motions for filing frivolous appeals.

Have a nice day.
