"forging" for consistency within this article.
The reference to "issuing" is substituted for the former reference to
"uttering" for consistency with Title 8 of this article.
The former reference to "putting off" an instrument is deleted as included
in the references to "issuing" and "passing" an instrument. The crime of
"putting off" at common law refers to uttering or passing, generally in the
context of currency and related instruments. See, e.g., U.S. v. Marigold, 50
U.S. 560 (9 How.) (1850).
The Criminal Law Article Review Committee notes, for the consideration
of the General Assembly, that "obtaining property by false pretenses" is no
longer a separate crime in Maryland, but is a form of theft under Title 7,
Subtitle 1 of this article. See § 7-102(a)(5) of this article. Similarly,
"embezzling" and "destroying" wills and instruments are revised as forms
of fraud under Title 8, Subtitle 7 of this article. The General Assembly may
wish to clarify this provision and § 4-108 of the Criminal Procedure
Article, both derived from former Art. 27, § 612, to address these matters.
Defined terms: "Counterfeit" § 1-101
"Person" § 1-101
TITLE 2. HOMICIDE.
SUBTITLE 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

IN THIS TITLE THE FOLLOWING WORDS HAVE THE MEANINGS INDICATED.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added as the standard

"IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE" MEANS
IMPRISONMENT FOR THE NATURAL LIFE OF AN INMATE UNDER THE CUSTODY OF A
CORRECTIONAL FACILITY.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 27, §§ 412(f)(2) and 413(e)(4).
The former references to the "Patuxent Institution" are deleted as included
in the comprehensive reference to a "correctional facility".
