1. “The intermediate appellate court noted correctly that [t]he circuit court has not developed a record that properly allows us to evaluate the constitutionality of the prosecutor’s actions. The only evidence introduced regarding this subject is the testimony of the victim. We are unable to make any conclusions based on her testimony, however, due to the lack of clarity concerning the language the Assistant State’s Attorney used. The Prosecutor did not take the witness stand and provide sworn testimony. The utter lack of factual determinations in the record necessitates that we remand this case to the circuit court in order that appellant’s motion can be properly considered.”

Did the Court of Special Appeals err in concluding that [respondent] could be convicted of assault with intent to maim without sufficient proof of injury or intent?”
