COMMITTEE NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new and added to state
expressly the scope of this section.
Subsections (b) and (c) of this section are new language derived without
substantive change from former Public Local Laws, Art. 4 [Baltimore
City], § 7-8, as it related to investigations other than visits to correctional
facilities. The codification of the Baltimore City provision here is merely
for convenience and is not intended, by reenactment of a single provision,
to alter any power of a grand jury with regard to recommendations in other
counties. See, e.g., in re report of grand jury of Baltimore City, 152 Md. 616
(1927).
In subsection (b) of this section, reference to "a judge" is substituted for the
former reference to "the Judges of the Circuit Court for Baltimore City or
the court's designated visiting Judge", to clarify that any one of the active
judges may order an investigation. The substitution includes a designated
judge who, while designated, is deemed a judge of the court to which
designated.
Former Public Local Laws, Art. 4 [Baltimore City], § 7-8, as it related to
visits to correctional, detention, and penal facilities, is deleted as
unnecessary in light of current CS §§ 9-607 and 9-608, as to inquiry into
State correctional facilities and visits to local correctional facilities.
Defined term: "jury commissioner" § 8-101
8-418. RESERVED.
8-419. RESERVED.
PART IV. TRIAL JURY.
8-420. PEREMPTORY CHALLENGES IN CRIMINAL CASES.

(1) THIS SUBSECTION APPLIES ONLY IN A CRIMINAL TRIAL IN WHICH A
DEFENDANT IS SUBJECT, ON ANY SINGLE COUNT, TO:
(I) A DEATH SENTENCE BECAUSE THE STATE HAS GIVEN NOTICE
OF INTENTION TO SEEK A DEATH SENTENCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH § 2-202 OF THE
CRIMINAL LAW ARTICLE; OR
(II) A SENTENCE OF LIFE IMPRISONMENT, INCLUDING A CASE IN
WHICH THE STATE HAS NOT GIVEN NOTICE OF INTENTION TO SEEK A DEATH
SENTENCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH § 2-202 OF THE CRIMINAL LAW ARTICLE BUT
EXCLUDING A COMMON LAW OFFENSE FOR WHICH NO SPECIFIC STATUTORY
PENALTY IS PROVIDED.
(2) EACH DEFENDANT IS ALLOWED 20 PEREMPTORY CHALLENGES.
(3) THE STATE IS ALLOWED 10 PEREMPTORY CHALLENGES FOR EACH
DEFENDANT.
