1 Citing case

  1. State v. Elzey

    472 Md. 84 (Md. 2021)   Cited 4 times

    The Court of Special Appeals agreed with Elzey that the Battered Spouse Syndrome jury instruction was erroneous, both because it improperly required the jury to make a predicate finding that Hunter repeatedly abused Elzey, and because it was confusing as to the relevance of Elzey's past abuse by others. Elzey v. State , 243 Md. App. 425, 437-39, 220 A.3d 440 (2019). The court further held that the instructional error was not harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, and therefore ordered a new trial.
