Holdings:
The Maryland Court made the
following holding:
- Under the rule of
lenity, the offenses of driving while under the influence of alcohol, in
violation of Md. Code Ann., Transp. § 21-902(a)(1) (2008), and driving
while under the influence of alcohol per se, in violation of Md. Code
Ann., Transp. § 21-902(a)(2) (2008), merge for sentencing purposes when
they arise from a single act of driving.
- The offense of driving
under the influence of alcohol per se, in violation of Md. Code Ann.,
Transp. § 21-902(a)(2) (2008), was enacted as a separate offense in the
statutory scheme to permit an intoxicated driving conviction based solely
on blood alcohol content, as an alternative to a fact finder having to
rely on the more subjective behavioral evidence necessary to prove
intoxicated driving under Md. Code Ann., Transp. § 21-902(a)(1).
