Description
Kenneth Countess, William Oscar McCoy, Luther Robinson, Leroy Gault, John Franklin Fairbanks and Donald Lee Harris were found guilty of committing divers crimes proscribed by the General Assembly of Maryland and against the peace, government and dignity of the State. They were duly sentenced.*fn1 Upon appeal to the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland, the judgments against Countess, McCoy, Robinson, Gault and Fairbanks were affirmed, and those against Harris were reversed. Countess v. State, 41 Md. App. 649, 398 A.2d 806 (1979); McCoy v. State, 41 Md. App. 667, 398 A.2d 1244 (1979); Fairbanks v. State, 42 Md. App. 15, 398 A.2d 814 (1979); Harris v. State, 42 Md. App. 248, 400 A.2d 6 (1979). We granted certiorari in each of the cases. The petitioners present a common question concerning Maryland Rule 735, which concerns the election by a defendant of a court or jury trial in a criminal cause. The petitioners ask: "Did the Court of Special Appeals err in its interpretation and application of Maryland Rule 735?" Countess, McCoy, Robinson, Gault and Fairbanks contend that the court so erred in affirming the judgments against them. The State claims that the court so erred in reversing the judgments against Harris.
