“[Tjhere is no inconsistency either between the acquittal on the first degree premeditated murder count and the convic tion for conspiring to commit first degree murder or, obversely, an acquittal on a conspiracy charge and the conviction of first degree murder. These offenses are separate and distinct.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[T]o reverse an inconsistent conviction would not only require guesswork about what produced the inconsistency, but would also be unfair to the State, which cannot appeal an inconsistent acquittal.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Consistency has never been a requisite attribute of a jury verdict. Continuing the common law tradition, “inconsistent verdicts in a jury trial [ ] are generally tolerated under Maryland law.””
