Harris v. State

A jury in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City convicted Chester Harris of automobile manslaughter, in violation of Md.Code, Criminal Law Article § 2-209 (2002 and 2003 Supp.), and related offenses. 1

Harris raises three issues on appeal, which we have rephrased as follows:

1. Whether the trial court properly accepted the jury’s verdict where the record does not show that the jury was sworn.

2. Whether the trial court abused its discretion in restricting counsel’s closing argument.

3. Whether the trial discretion in admitting evidence.

Finding neither error nor abuse of discretion, we shall affirm.
