AG No. 27 (2023 T.) Attorney Grievance Commission of Maryland v. Marnitta Lanette King
No. 41 In re Expungement Petition of Bradley B.
Issue – Criminal Procedure – Does § 10-110 of the Criminal Procedure Article, which permits people who meet other eligibility criteria to expunge certain convictions after a waiting period that begins when they “satisf[y] the sentence…imposed,” nevertheless prohibit someone from ever expunging an eligible conviction if they were, for any reason, ever found in violation of probation ordered for that conviction and probation closed as “unsatisfactory”?
No. 44 Jamal Antoine Williams v. State of Maryland
Issues – Criminal Law – 1) Does § 9-805(a) Criminal Law Article, which prohibits the “promot[ion]” of a criminal organization, require a specific intent to limit its scope to gang kingpins seeking to further one of the subtitle’s “underlying crimes” for the benefit of the organization? 2) Was there sufficient evidence to convict Petitioner of violating § 9-805(a) where his act of “promotion” consisted of standing by a codefendant who spray painted a gang symbol on a public wall, which is not one of the subtitle’s “underlying crimes”?
After June 5, 2025, the Court will recess until September 4, 2025.
On the day of argument, counsel must register in the Clerk’s Office no later than 8:30 a.m. unless otherwise notified.
