Court of Appeals of Maryland September 5, 1985, 80, September Term, 1984 (Myers v. State)

COLE, Judge.

The issue of first impression presented in this case is whether a person who is found guilty of perjury, but who is given probation before judgment, is competent to testify. This issue arises by virtue of Md.Code (1974, 1984 Repl. Vol.), § 9-104 of the Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article (Courts Article), which provides that “[a] person

convicted

of perjury may not testify.
