Opinion

[App. No. 40, September Term, 1964.]

Decided October 19, 1964.

DEFECTIVE DELINQUENTS — Testimony Of Director Of Patuxent Institution Alone Was Sufficient To Support Jury's Finding Of Defective Delinquency — His Conclusions Not Improperly Admitted, Even Though Based In Part Upon Reports Of Other Staff Members. p. 623

Decided October 19, 1964.

From a finding that he was a defective delinquent, Alfonso S. Wheatfall applied for leave to appeal.

Application denied.

Before HENDERSON, C.J., and PRESCOTT, MARBURY, SYBERT and OPPENHEIMER, JJ.


This application for leave to appeal from a determination of defective delinquency raises questions as to the sufficiency and weight of the evidence. The testimony of Dr. Boslow was alone sufficient to support the jury's finding. Cf. Silvestri v. Director, 234 Md. 641 (1964). That case, and the cases therein cited, make it clear that Dr. Boslow's conclusions were not improperly admitted, even though based in part on the reports of other staff members.

Application denied.
