SIMKUS v. STATE

[No. 107, September Term, 1982.]

296 Md. 718 (1983)

464 A.2d 1055

JOHN G. SIMKUS, JR. v. STATE OF MARYLAND

Court of Appeals of Maryland.

Decided September 8, 1983.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Clarence W. Sharp, Assigned Public Defender, for appellant.

Richard B. Rosenblatt, Assistant Attorney General, with whom was Stephen H. Sachs, Attorney General, on the brief, for appellee.

The cause was argued before MURPHY, C.J., and SMITH, ELDRIDGE, COLE, DAVIDSON, RODOWSKY and COUCH, JJ.

SMITH, J., delivered the opinion of the Court. MURPHY, C.J., concurs, and filed a concurring opinion at page 738 infra.

This is yet another of the cases involving hypnotically enhanced testimony which were argued on the same day. Because in this case we find that identification of the accused was made prior to hypnosis, we shall be obliged to address other issues. The convictions will be affirmed.
