Fields v. State (Ct. of Appeals)
Filed December 8, 2006--Opinion by Judge Irma Raker.
Whether the Court of Special Appeals erred in holding that petitioner's nickname, "Sat Dog," which was displayed on a television monitor above a bowling lane, was not hearsay. Even if the court erred with respect to the evidentiary issue, the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. Thus, the Court did not reach the hearsay issue.
The full opinion is available in WordPerfect and PDF.
