State v. Prichard
| WD-25-028 | Per Mayle, J., Trial court erred in admitting document produced in discovery by defendant and offered by State because it was not properly authenticated. Implied authentication not appropriate under circumstances of this criminal case where rules of evidence apply. Even excising improper evidence, error was harmless because remaining evidence established defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Defendant’s ineffective assistance claim relating to same evidence fails second element of Strickland. | Mayle | Wood |

State v. Haskins
| L-24-1248 | Officers lacked reasonable, articulable suspicion to detain appellant because he did not match vague description of suspect. Court did not err by denying motion to suppress because evidence would have been inevitably discovered during search incident to lawful arrest. Officers’ testimony authenticated videos because they viewed videos on surveillance system at store. Court erred by sentencing appellant to three mandatory firearm specifications when statute requires only two mandatory sentences. Duhart | Duhart | Lucas |

State v. Thomas
| L-25-00049 | Per Mayle, J., trial court did not err by admitting 911 calls. Statements in the calls were made to get help during an ongoing emergency, so they were nontestimonial and their admission did not violate the Confrontation Clause. Appellant’s conviction was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Trial court’s inclusion of all possible terms of postrelease control in sentencing entry did not reflect notice that it gave at sentencing hearing, which can be corrected with nunc pro tunc entry. | Mayle | Lucas |
