Martelly v. State

Appellant, Louis J. Martelly, was sentenced to imprisonment after being convicted by a jury in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County under an indictment charging him with having possessed and had under his control a narcotic drug. On this appeal he contends that the trial court was in error in denying his motion to suppress certain evidence on the ground that it was produced by an unlawful search and seizure, and that in any event the trial court should have granted his motion for a judgment of acquittal because, he says, the evidence was insufficient to support the jury’s verdict of guilty.
