Unfortunately, this Court is not the highest court in Maryland. The Court of Appeals, which is the highest court, has demonstrated an amazing lack of cojones when dealing with murderers. The ray of hope here is that the spineless prosecutors in Montgomery County didn’t seek the death penalty. The fact that a death sentence is not involved may temper some of the enthusiasm the Court of Appeals often shows for reversing murder convictions.
And...the death sentence was handed down in neighboring Virginia. Virginia....doing the nasty, needed work for the limp wristed liberals in MD.... :-)
