ROBERT ANTHONY MCGHIE v. STATE OF MARYLAND
Court of Special Appeals, Graeff, Nov. 24, 2015,
Murder – The words “first degree” were not necessary where the jury convicted of “murder” and felony-murder was the only murder charge submitted for deliberation
Murder – “[T]o support a first-degree murder conviction, the jury verdict must reflect that the jurors unanimously found the defendant guilty, not just of murder, but of murder in the first degree.” However, “each juror need not utter those specific words.”
Appellant subsequently filed a motion seeking “some type of reconsideration and
reduction” relating to the life sentence imposed
Seems understandable
