DANIEL MILLS v. STATE OF MARYLAND
Court of Special Appeals of Maryland, Battaglia, Nov. 5, 2018,
Jury Selection – Batson – Statistical analysis of jury makeup vs venire makeup is not an appropriate standard for phase 1 of a Batson challenge
Possession – Sufficient evidence of possession where drugs were located in a door pocket next to where the defendant was sitting
Argument – Not improper for a prosecutor to comment on the defendant being right-handed when the jury had the opportunity to observe the defendant and decide the issue for itself.
