State v. Waine
Court of Appeals of Maryland
1Opinion of the Court
*695BARBERA, C.J.
In May 2012, we decided Unger v. State, 427 Md. 383, 48 A.3d 242 (2012), and denied a motion to reconsider our decision in August of the same year. We granted certiorari to consider the State’s request that we overrule what we decided in Unger little more than three years ago. We decline to overrule Unger and return to what once was the law. To hold otherwise would depart from the principles of stare decisis, generate uncertainty, and, ultimately, undermine trust and confidence in the rule of law.
