DELEGATE CARDIN : Would it Be in order to suggest

2

that if there is no objection that the committee on

3

Style and Drafting consider the same terminology?

4

DELEGATE WEIDEMEYER: I would not agree to that.

5

I think "infamous" has its legal significance and we

6

ought nto tamper around with that.

7

DELEGATE JAMES: Delegate Byrnes , for what purpose

8

do you rise?

9

DELEGATE BYRNES: Just to ask a question, if I

10

may.

11

DELEGATE JAMES: Will the Delegate yield?

12

DELEGATE WEIDEMEYER: If I may.

13

DELEGATE BYRNES: Did I understand you to say

14

that the term "infamous" may include misdemeanors?

15

DELEGATE WEIDEMEYER: I said, now, that what I

16

said was my own personal opinion, that some of our crimes

17

in our criminal code are categorized as misdemeanors , and I

18

personally would consider them in the more serious

19

categories. What the legislature will do in redefining

20

them, I do not know, but to my mind, infamous imports the

21

rather more serious crime.
