Prince v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed Prince’s convictions and sentence, rejecting challenges to the admission of prior-misconduct evidence, the Maryland shooting evidence, alleged hearsay, witness-related rulings, jury sequestration, discovery restrictions, the arrest, delayed arraignment, sentencing, prosecutorial conduct, and cumulative error. The Court held that unpreserved claims were reviewed for plain error and preserved evidentiary and suppression claims were reviewed for abuse of discretion, finding no reversible error. The Court also held that attempted manslaughter under extreme emotional distress is a cognizable offense and that the challenged sentences were legally permissible.
