HILLARD v. STATE

No. 209, September Term, 1978.

40 Md. App. 600 (1978)

392 A.2d 1181

SAMUEL HILLARD v. STATE OF MARYLAND.

Court of Special Appeals of Maryland.

Decided November 3, 1978.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Submitted by Alan H. Murrell, Public Defender, and Bradford C. Peabody, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.

Submitted by Francis Bill Burch, Attorney General, Alice G. Pinderhughes, Assistant Attorney General, Arthur A. Marshall, Jr., State's Attorney for Prince George's County, and Anthony McCarthy, Assistant State's Attorney for Prince George's County, for appellee.

The cause was submitted on briefs to MORTON, MOORE and WILNER, JJ.


WILNER, J., delivered the opinion of the Court.

The sole issue in this appeal is whether a statement given by appellant while in police custody was prompted by an improper inducement offered by the interrogating officer. Claiming that it was, appellant urges that the Circuit Court for Prince George's County erred in admitting the statement into evidence. We disagree with appellant and shall therefore affirm the judgment against him.
