Court of Special Appeals of Maryland December 4, 1981, 388, September Term, 1981 (Scarborough v. State)

*277

Thompson, J.,

delivered the opinion of the Court.

In this case we are primarily concerned with a novel procedure, adopted by the trial judge in a robbery prosecution, in which separate juries were empaneled to try the appellant and a co-defendant simultaneously.

William Scarborough, appellant, was charged along with Maurice King with robbery with a deadly weapon and a handgun violation.
