Issue:

DWI Baltimore Maryland Lawyer Expert Testimony
DWI Baltimore Maryland Lawyer Expert Testimony

Facts:
Mr. James was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated and other charges.

Defendant appealed his conviction in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County for driving while intoxicated.

Issues:
- Whether error in the process of service is harmless?
Discussion:
The Court states that The denial of defendant’s motion to dismiss the charging document based on improper service under Md. Code Ann., Transp. § 26-201, Md. Code Ann., Cts. & Jud. Proc., § 2-605(b) and Md. R. Crim. Causes 4-212(h) was not error. Although the process was legally issued by the arresting officer, the error occurred in its actual service because the District Court Commissioner did not have authority to effectuate service. Because defendant appeared to defend against the charge, the trial court had jurisdiction over the charge and the person. The court found the error in service to be harmless because it in no way influenced the verdict. The trial court did not err by admitting the results of the breathalyzer test because the police did not affirmatively mislead defendant about his right to a preliminary test, but merely properly advised him of his subsequent test rights. The court did not err by limiting defendant’s cross-examination of a key state’s witness because he was attempting to elicit expert testimony from an unqualified witness.
