245 Md. 673 | Md. | 1967
Application for leave to appeal will be denied, essentially for the reasons set forth by Judge Foster in his order denying relief and dismissing the petition.
Inasmuch as the applicant now contends (as he did not at trial) that his confession was involuntary and relies for support primarily on Escobedo v. Illinois, 378 U. S. 478 (1964), this point will be dealt with separately. The Supreme Court has held in Johnson v. New Jersey, 384 U. S. 719 (June, 1966) that the principles set forth in both Escobedo and Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U. S. 436 (June, 1966) do not apply in cases, such as the applicant’s, where the trial began before Escobedo and Miranda were decided. Moreover, no objection was made
Application denied.
