Baker v. State
Facts:
In a bench trial
in Baltimore, defendant was found guilty of driving under the influence of
alcohol, driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol per se, and driving while
impaired and proceeded immediately to sentencing. The trial court (Maryland)
merged the latter two convictions into the former, and sentenced defendant to
one year of incarceration, all but 60 days suspended, followed by two years of
supervised probation, and a fine of $ 500. Defendant appealed.

Holdings:
The Maryland Court made the
following holding:
- A mandatory presumption
is a far more troublesome evidentiary device. For it may affect not only
the strength of the "no reasonable doubt" burden but also the
placement of that burden; it tells the trier that he or she must find the
elemental fact upon proof of the basic fact, at least unless the defendant
has come forward with some evidence to rebut the presumed connection
between the two facts. In this situation, the court has generally examined
the presumption on its face to determine the extent to which the basic and
elemental facts coincide. To the extent that the trier of fact is forced
to abide by the presumption, and may not reject it based on an independent
evaluation of the particular facts presented by the State, the analysis of
the presumption's constitutional validity is logically divorced from those
facts and based on the presumption's accuracy in the run of cases.
- Md. Code Ann., Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 10-307 (2004 Cum. Supp.) sets forth a statutory "inference" of driving while impaired or under the influence of alcohol.
