MATTHEWS v. STATE

Nos. 1104, 1120, September Term, 1979.

46 Md. App. 172 (1980)

416 A.2d 1314

JEFFREY HENRY MATTHEWS, JR. v. STATE OF MARYLAND. MICHAEL EVERETTE STREET v. STATE OF MARYLAND.

Court of Special Appeals of Maryland.

Decided July 10, 1980.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Arthur A. DeLano, Jr., Assistant Public Defender, with whom were Alan H. Murrell, Public Defender, and George E. Burns, Jr., Assistant Public Defender, on the brief, for appellants.

Diane Goldsmith, Assistant Attorney General, with whom were Stephen H. Sachs, Attorney General, Arthur A. Marshall, Jr., State's Attorney for Prince George's County, Terry McGann, Assistant State's Attorney for Prince George's County (for appellant Matthews), and Gary Courtois, Assistant State's Attorney for Prince George's County (for appellant Street), on the brief, for appellee.

The cause was argued before GILBERT, C.J., and MELVIN and WILNER, JJ.


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

These two consolidated criminal appeals each present a single issue: Before a plea of guilty may be accepted pursuant to Maryland Rule 731 c, is it necessary that the record affirmatively show compliance with Maryland Rule 735 d as construed by the Court of Appeals in Countess v. State, 286 Md. 444, 408 A.2d 1302 (1979)?
