REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, §§ 760(b) and 763.
In subsections (c) and (d) of this section, the references to a "defendant or
child respondent" are substituted for the former defined term "defendant",
for brevity and accuracy. The former defined term "defendant", which
included both a person alleged to have committed a crime and a child
alleged to have committed a delinquent act, was used only in the source
material for these two subsections.
In subsection (d) of this section, the reference to "§ 3-8A-01" of the Courts
Article is substituted for the former obsolete reference to "§ 3-801(o)" of the
Courts Article for accuracy. See Ch. 415, Acts of 2001.
Defined terms: "Person" § 1-101
"Victim" § 9-301
"Witness" § 9-301
9-305. INTIMIDATING OR CORRUPTING JUROR
