State v. Thaniel

In 2005, a jury, sitting in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, convicted Travis Thaniel, appellee, of first-degree murder of Shawn Boston, attempted second-degree murder of Catherine Jones, and use of a handgun in the commission of a crime of violence. The court thereafter sentenced Thaniel to life imprisonment for first-degree murder and consecutive terms of thirty years for attempted second-degree murder and twenty years for use of a handgun in the commission of a crime of violence. A panel of this Court affirmed his convictions on direct appeal.
