On reconsideration of the questionable decision in Alston v. State… just kidding! Part B is “hereby withdrawn and replaced with ‘The second question the Petitioner asks us to resolve, being moot, shall not be addressed here.'”
No comment on how the Court of Special Appeals should handle MICHAEL OSHEA TUCKER, JR. v. STATE OF MARYLAND which was vacated by the CoA and remanded for consideration under the original Alston opinion.
