Marlene VENABLE v. STATE of Maryland.

Court of Special Appeals of Maryland.

February 29, 1996.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Arthur A. DeLano, Jr., Assistant Public Defender (Stephen E. Harris, Public Defender, on the brief), Baltimore, for Appellant.

Argued Before DAVIS, HARRELL and MURPHY, JJ.
