Description

The appellant, Brown, was convicted of first degree murder in the Criminal Court of Baltimore by Judge Harris, sitting without a jury. First sentenced to life imprisonment, the sentence was "stricken" or "suspended" in order to enable him to file a motion for a new trial. Browns motion for a new trial was filed but later withdrawn. He was then sentenced to death. In this appeal from that judgment, the appellant contends first, that the trial court erred in failing to grant a motion for a directed verdict of acquittal of murder in the first degree; second, that the appellants representation by his trial counsel was so inadequate as to amount to a denial of due process of law; and, third, that the death sentence was illegally imposed. We shall consider these contentions in the order named.
