Burroughs v. State

Mark H. Burroughs, also known as M. H. Burroughs and Fox Burroughs, was convicted of obtaining money under false pretenses, (violation of Article 27, § 140) after a bench trial in the Circuit Court for Queen Annfe’s County. He was sentenced to a term of one year imprisonment, three months of which were required to be served with the balance of the term suspended under conditions of probation.

His appeal questions the legal sufficiency of the evidence to convict. He also suggests error in the admission of evidence of a prior conviction.
