ROY DAVISON v. STATE OF MARYLAND
Criminal procedure — Voir dire — Compound question
Convicted by a jury in the Circuit Court for Somerset County of attempted armed robbery, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony or crime of violence, and related offenses, Roy Davison, appellant, presents for our review two questions: whether the court committed “plain error in propounding in compound form a voir dire question inquiring into whether the prospective jurors had strong feelings concerning the offenses on trial,” and whether the court abused its discretion “in precluding [him] from testifying regarding his own credibility.”
