CRIMINAL LAW — Inspection Of Prior Signed Statement — Trial Court Erred In Not Permitting Defendant's Counsel To Inspect A Prior Statement Of A State's Witness Who Had Testified At The Trial. pp. 295-296
PER CURIAM:
We granted certiorari in this case to consider whether the Court of Special Appeals correctly applied the principles of Carr v. State, 284 Md. 455, 397 A.2d 606 (1979), when, in reversing Leonard's convictions, it concluded that the trial court had erred in not permitting Leonard's counsel to inspect a prior statement of a State's witness who had testified at the trial. For the reasons set forth by Judge Wilner in Leonard v. State, 46 Md. App. 631, 421 A.2d 85 (1980), the judgment of the Court of Special Appeals is affirmed.
Judgment of the Court of Special Appeals affirmed, with costs.
