Mayer v. State

CAREY, Justice:

This appeal is taken by Harry A. Mayer, who was convicted in the Superior Court for possession of marijuana with intent to sell. He was found not guilty on the charge of possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony. 1 This appeal presents two questions for our consideration: (1) Was the search warrant in this case supported by an affidavit which was sufficient to establish probable cause for its issuance? and (2) Was prejudicial error committed by the Judge’s refusal to sever the “firearm” charge from the “drug” charge?

I

We answer the first question in the affirmative.…
