Lawrence v. State

Facts:

Defendant was given a traffic ticket for speeding, in violation of Md. Code Ann., Transp., § 21-801.1 (1977, 2002 Repl. Vol.), and with driving under the influence, for which a nolle prosequi was entered. The Circuit Court of Baltimore, Maryland, refused to accept payment of the fine for speeding and found defendant guilty after a trial. Defendant appealed to an intermediate appellate court, and the case was taken up on certiorari for further review.

Holdings:

            The Maryland Court made the following holding:

  • According to Md. R. 8-131(c), when an action is tried without a jury, the Court of Appeals of Maryland reviews the case on both the law and the evidence. It does not set aside a judgment of a trial court on the evidence unless clearly erroneous and gives due regard to the opportunity of a trial court to judge the credibility of the witnesses. The clearly erroneous standard does not apply to legal conclusions. When a trial court's order involves an interpretation and application of Maryland statutory and case law, the Court of Appeals must determine whether the lower court's conclusions are legally correct under a de novo standard of review.
  • The plain language of Md. Code Ann., Transp., § 26-204 (1977, 2002 Repl. Vol.), is clear and unambiguous. There are three ways in which a person who receives a traffic citation can respond: (1) by appearing in person, (2) by appearing by counsel, or (3) by payment of the fine, if the citation enumerates such a fine.
