<b>Peter v. State</b><br />
<br />
<b>Facts:</b><br />
<br />
The court granted a writ of certiorari to determine whether the Circuit Court of Baltimore (Maryland) was within its authority in imposing a sentence for defendant's conviction for two counts of driving under the influence (DUI), which specified that she could not drive during a hree-year probation, even if her license was reinstated by the state Motor Vehicle Administration.<br />

The Maryland Court made the following holding:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Md. Code Ann., Transp. § 16-208(a) provides that the state Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) may not suspend a license or privilege to drive for a period of more than one year. The exceptions to this one-year limit are set forth with particularity in such provisions as Md. Code Ann. Transp. § 16-208(a)(2), which permits the MVA to suspend for an indefinite period the license or privilege of any individual who cannot drive safely because of his physical or mental condition; and Md. Code Ann., Transp. § 16-404(c)(2), which authorizes various periods of suspension for the accumulation of points based on repeated convictions for violations of drinking and driving laws. Section 16-404(c)(2) authorizes the MVA to suspend the license of a driver against whom a designated number of points has been assessed for violations of Md. Code Ann. Transp. §§ 21-902(b) or (c), driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The legislature has restricted the duration of such suspensions as follows: (i) For a first conviction, not more than 6 months; (ii) For a second conviction at least 5 years after the date of the first conviction, not more than 9 months; (iii) For a second conviction less than 5 years after the date of the first conviction or for a third conviction, not more than 12 months; and (iv) For a fourth or subsequent conviction, not more than 24 months.</li>

<b>William v. State</b><br />
<br />
<b>Facts:</b><br />
<br />
The matter involved two separate appeals consolidated for oral arguments. The first appeal was taken by defendant from an order of the Circuit Court in Baltimore (Maryland) denying his motion to dismiss, on grounds of double jeopardy, charges of driving while intoxicated (DWI) and driving while under the influence of alcohol (DUI). The second appeal was taken by the State from a subsequent order dismissing those two charges.<br />

The Maryland Court made the following holding:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Negligent driving is a lesser included offense within the greater offense of manslaughter by automobile. Negligent driving is also a lesser included offense within the greater offense of homicide by motor vehicle while intoxicated.</li>
<li>A trial court has jurisdiction for purposes of double jeopardy when it has jurisdiction over the subject matter and the person of the defendant. For double jeopardy to have effect the action which bars a second prosecution must be one instituted in a court which has the power to convict and punish the person prosecuted for his criminal conduct.</li>

<b>Chester v. State</b><br />
<br />
<b>Facts:</b><br />
<br />
Defendant sought review of the judgments from the Circuit Court for Baltimore (Maryland), which convicted him of driving while under the influence (DUI) of drugs in contravention of Md. Ann. Code art. 66 1/2, § 11-902(a), and possession of barbiturates.<br />

The Maryland Court made the following holding:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>An appellate court cannot be precluded from determining whether the circumstances under which a confession is made were such that its admission in evidence amounts to a denial of due process. What is meant by the obligation to make an independent, reflective constitutional judgment on the facts whenever a claim of a constitutionally-protected right is involved is that, although the appellate court gives great weight to the findings of the hearing judge as to specific, first-level facts (such as the time that an interrogation began, whether a meal was or was not served, whether a telephone call was requested, etc.), the appellate court must make its own independent judgment as to what to make of those facts; the appellate court must, in making that independent judgment, resolve for itself the ultimate, second-level fact -- the existence or non-existence of a bona fide inventory.</li>
<li>An essential requirement to a valid inventory search is that the police must have acted in good faith in conducting the inventory, and must not have used the inventory procedure as a subterfuge for a warrantless search. Where the conduct of the police was inconsistent with its contention that the search was conducted for inventory purposes, the search was unlawful.</li>

<b>James v. State</b><br />
<br />
<b>Facts:</b><br />
<br />
Defendant was convicted in the Circuit Court in Baltimore of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) per se, and was sentenced. The docket entries indicated that defendant was also convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol, driving while impaired, failing to drive right of center, and driving an uninsured vehicle (additional charges), and that these additional charges were merged at sentencing. Defendant appealed.<br />

The Maryland Court made the following holding:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Under the required evidence test, if all of the elements of one offense are included in the other so that only the latter offense contains a distinct element, the former merges into the latter. If each offense requires proof of a fact or an element that the other does not, there is no merger under the required evidence test. However, even when two offenses are separate under the required evidence test, there may still be merger under the rule of lenity. The rule of lenity, applicable to statutory offenses only, provides that where there is no indication that the Maryland legislature intends multiple punishments for the same act, a court will not impose multiple punishments but will, for sentencing purposes, merge one offense into the other. Under the rule of lenity, the offense carrying the lesser maximum penalty will merge into the offense carrying the greater maximum penalty.</li>
<li>Driving under the influence per se is not a lesser included offense of driving under the influence. It is a separate offense, as both driving under the influence and driving under the influence per se each have an element not found in the other. The criminal per se law is intended to supplement the existing prohibitions.</li>

<b>Williams v. State</b><br />

The Maryland Court made the following holding:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The "overall question" to be decided in manslaughter by motor vehicle cases is stated as: was the conduct of defendant, considering all the factors of the case, such that it amounted to a wanton or reckless disregard for human life.</li>
<li>To drive while simply under the influence, to the extent that one is incapable of safely driving his vehicle, is a direct violation of the law. Md. Ann. Code art. 66 1/2, § 11-902(c). When the degree of inebriation is adjudged to render a driver, not only unsafe under § 11-902(c) or even impaired under Md. Ann. Code art. 66 1/2, § 11-902(b), but beyond the most extreme condition of insobriety recognized by law, i.e., intoxicated under Md. Ann. Code art. 66 1/2, § 11-902(a), one who drives thus incapacitated may be inferred to have disregarded human life both wantonly and recklessly. When death ensues, inferentially or directly attributable to a breach of a duty by appellant, derived from his self-induced condition of intoxication, driving while drunk may be sufficient to raise the cause of death from simple negligence to gross negligence, as a factual determination to be made by the fact finder.</li>

Defendant appealed from a judgment of the Circuit for Baltimore (Maryland) convicting him of driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol.

The Maryland Court made the following holding:<br />
<ul>
<li>When the issue of pre-arrest searches has arisen, Maryland courts have upheld them so long as a lawful arrest followed the search. As to how quickly the arrest must follow the search, Maryland 's appellate courts have approved searches when the arrest occurred immediately after the search, and when it occurred a few minutes later.</li>
<li>For purposes of Miranda, "interrogation" includes not only express questioning but its functional equivalent. The functional equivalent of interrogation includes any words or actions on the part of the police that the police should know are reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response from the suspect. In determining whether the police should have known that their words or actions would elicit an incriminating response from the suspect, courts must consider the intent of the police in making the statement or performing the action, whether the police had knowledge of a suspect's unusual susceptibility to persuasion, and whether the police invited the suspect to respond to their statements or actions. Indeed, interrogation must reflect a measure of compulsion above and beyond that inherent in custody itself, and a suspect's incriminating response must be the product of words or actions on the part of police.</li>

In a bench trial
in Baltimore, defendant was found guilty of driving under the influence of
alcohol, driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol per se, and driving while
impaired and proceeded immediately to sentencing. The trial court (Maryland)
merged the latter two convictions into the former, and sentenced defendant to
one year of incarceration, all but 60 days suspended, followed by two years of
supervised probation, and a fine of $ 500. Defendant appealed.<o:p></o:p></div>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 12.75pt; text-align: justify;">A mandatory presumption
is a far more troublesome evidentiary device. For it may affect not only
the strength of the "no reasonable doubt" burden but also the
placement of that burden; it tells the trier that he or she must find the
elemental fact upon proof of the basic fact, at least unless the defendant
has come forward with some evidence to rebut the presumed connection
between the two facts. In this situation, the court has generally examined
the presumption on its face to determine the extent to which the basic and
elemental facts coincide. To the extent that the trier of fact is forced
to abide by the presumption, and may not reject it based on an independent
evaluation of the particular facts presented by the State, the analysis of
the presumption's constitutional validity is logically divorced from those
facts and based on the presumption's accuracy in the run of cases.<o:p></o:p></li>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 12.75pt; text-align: justify;">The distinction between
driving while intoxicated and driving under the influence of alcohol is
one of degree. A person is under the influence of alcohol when the alcohol
that he or she has consumed has impaired normal coordination, although not
amounting to intoxication. Another way of saying this is that the person's
abilities have been reduced or weakened by the consumption of alcohol.
Intoxication means more than being under the influence of alcohol. A person
is intoxicated when the alcohol that he or she has consumed has
substantially impaired normal coordination.<o:p></o:p></li>

indicated that defendant was also convicted of driving under the influence of
alcohol, driving while impaired, failing to drive right of center, and driving
an uninsured vehicle (additional charges), and that these additional charges
were merged at sentencing. Defendant appealed.<o:p></o:p></div>

prohibitions.<o:p></o:p></li>

alcohol and driving while impaired and requires that the alcohol that the
person has consumed has substantially impaired the person's normal
coordination. By contrast, driving "while impaired" requires
that the alcohol that the person has consumed has impaired normal
coordination to some extent. Driving under the influence of alcohol per se
requires that the person take a test that shows the blood alcohol level to
be 0.08 or more. </li>

Defendant in Baltimore
contended that the motions court erred in denying his motion to dismiss on
double jeopardy grounds, because the sanction imposed in another case, a
weekend in jail, was a punishment for his act of drinking and driving in this
case. The State responded that the sanction imposed by the DUI court was solely
for defendant's failure to abide by the terms of the DUI Treatment plan. The
appellate court concluded that defendant was not placed in initial jeopardy for
the charges in this case when he first appeared before the DUI court, because
neither the prosecutor nor defense counsel were present, no evidence in the
traditional sense was received by the court, and defendant was never sworn or subject
to cross-examination. Defendant signed an agreement pursuant to which he agreed
that one consequence for failure to comply with the DUI treatment requirements
could be incarceration. When the DUI court imposed such a sanction, the court

<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 12.75pt; text-align: justify;">A defendant ordinarily
can be convicted of an offense which is not charged but which is a lesser
included offense of one that is charged. The same common law rule is
embodied in Md. Code Ann., Transp. I § 26-405 with respect to certain
enumerated offenses. Furthermore, courts have taken the position that
driving while under the influence of alcohol, in violation of Md. Code
Ann., § Transp. I § 21-902(b), is a lesser included offense of driving
while intoxicated in violation of Md. Code Ann., Transp. I § 21-902(a).
Consequently, if one were simply charged with driving while intoxicated,
and the charging document made no other reference to § 21-902 offenses, he
could be convicted of the lesser included charge of driving while under
the influence of alcohol.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 12.75pt; text-align: justify;">Md. Code Ann., Transp. I

Code Ann., Transp. I §§ 21-901.1 and 21-902. If a person is charged with a
violation of Md. Code Ann., Transp. I § 21-901.1, "Reckless and
negligent driving," or Md. Code Ann., Transp. I § 21-902, Driving
while intoxicated, under the influence of alcohol, or under the influence
of a drug, a combination of alcohol and a drug, or a controlled dangerous
substance, the court may find him guilty of any lesser included offense

Defendant in Baltimore
contended
that the motions court erred in denying his motion to dismiss on double
jeopardy grounds, because the sanction imposed in another case, a weekend in
jail, was a punishment for his act of drinking and driving in this case. The
State responded that the sanction imposed by the DUI court was solely for
defendant's failure to abide by the terms of the DUI Treatment plan. The
appellate court concluded that defendant was not placed in initial jeopardy for
the charges in this case when he first appeared before the DUI court, because
neither the prosecutor nor defense counsel were present, no evidence in the
traditional sense was received by the court, and defendant was never sworn or
subject to cross-examination. Defendant signed an agreement pursuant to which
he agreed that one consequence for failure to comply with the DUI treatment
requirements could be incarceration. When the DUI court imposed such a
sanction, the court was acting under the agreement and defendant was not
punished by the DUI court. Since defendant's double jeopardy claim was
rejected, the appellate court declined to consider whether he waived his right
to be free from double jeopardy.<o:p></o:p></div>

Defendant
appealed a decision from the Criminal Court of Baltimore (Maryland), which
convicted him of manslaughter by automobile and of several traffic violation,
and sentenced him to the maximum concurrent sentences under each of the
manslaughter charges. He had, in an
earlier case been imposed with traffic ticket for speeding. <o:p></o:p></div>

<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 12.75pt; text-align: justify;">Under Maryland law a
witness may not fix the speed of a moving automobile as so much per hour,
without having shown some special knowledge which would enable him to
speak as an expert.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 12.75pt; text-align: justify;">Proof of simple
negligence will not support a conviction of manslaughter. Whether the
statutory standard "in a grossly negligent manner" has been
violated depends upon whether the conduct of the defendant, considering
all the factors of the case, was such that it amounted to a wanton or
reckless disregard for human life. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 12.75pt; text-align: justify;">The court's function is
not to determine whether it would have come to a different conclusion from
that of the lower court nor need the court be convinced beyond a
reasonable doubt of the appellant's guilt; the court determines whether
the lower court was clearly wrong in reaching a verdict of guilty on the
evidence.</li>
