Kenneth Gerald STABB v. STATE of Maryland.

Court of Appeals of Maryland.

November 22, 2011.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mark Colvin , Assistant Public Defender ( Paul B. DeWolfe , Public Defender, Baltimore, MD), on brief, for Petitioner.

Brenda Gruss , Asst. Atty. Gen. ( Douglas F. Gansler , Atty. Gen. of Maryland, Baltimore, MD), on brief, for Respondent.

Argued before BELL, C.J., HARRELL, BATTAGLIA, GREENE, MURPHY, ADKINS and BARBERA, JJ.

HARRELL, J.

This case concerns the propriety of an "anti-CSI effect," or "no duty," jury instruction, given before closing arguments in a criminal trial, that instructed the jury that there is "no legal requirement that the State utilize any specific investigative technique or scientific test to prove its case." We addressed a similar issue recently in Atkins v. State, 421 Md. 434, 26 A.3d 979
