Satterfield v. State
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court denying Petitioner's petition for post-conviction DNA testing pursuant to Md. Code Ann. Crim. Proc. 8-201(b)(1), holding that Petitioner was not entitled to relief on his allegations of error.
Petitioner was convicted of first-degree murder and other offenses and sentenced to life imprisonment plus a term of 150 years' imprisonment. In his post-conviction petition, Petitioner asserted that there was a reasonable probability that DNA testing of certain evidence had the scientific potential to produce exculpatory or mitigating evidence. The circuit court denied the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court properly denied the petition because the record and testimony reflected that any results of testing the subject evidence would not produce exculpatory or mitigating evidence.
