Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
22-441 Md. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2022

Issues: (1) Whether the Sixth Amendment is violated by a trial court’s denial of cross-examination into an accomplice’s confession, where the prosecution introduced the confession, where the confession implicates other co-conspirators, and where the inquiry would fairly rebut the inference that the defendant participated in a double murder; and (2) whether appellate courts should review violations of the Sixth Amendment’s confrontation clause de novo or for abuse of discretion.
