JAHTOOLIE MULLEY v. STATE OF MARYLAND
Court of Special Appeals, Meredith, June 2, 2016,
Discovery – Where defendant was charged with an age-based firearm violation, State was obligated to turn over defendant’s statement regarding his date of birth made at booking.

Note: State attempted to use an uncertified birth certificate to prove the defendant’s age. When that was not allowed, the arresting detective was called to the stand to testify about the date of birth given at booking. Because this statement (and presumably the prisoner transport form showing it) wasn’t given to defense in time for trial, the defense was unfairly prejudiced. Conviction on this charge was vacated, as the judge did not attempt to remedy the problem at the time of trial.
