Hunt v. State

Lest our decisions in Skinner v. State, 16 Md. App. 116, 293 A. 2d 828 (1972) and Nutt v. State, 16 Md. App. 695, 299 A. 2d 468 (1973) be misconstrued, we shall give our reasons for affirming the conviction of Andre Hunt on a charge of maintaining his apartment as a common nuisance, based upon evidence seized on a single day in the execution of a search warrant.
