2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““[T]he substitution of the word ‘armed’ for ‘attempted’ was inadvertent. The error committed was one of form only and ‘where the meaning of the verdict is so unmistakable, mere inartificiality [sic] in its form will not be sufficient to defeat justice by a nullification of a verdict which plainly declared the intent of the jury.’ Simmons v. State, 165 Md. 155, 169 , 167 A. 60, 66 . The very purpose of language is to express ideas; when the language used unmistakably expresses a conclusion, technicalities in the form of the verdict cannot be used to invalidate that verdict.” 295 A.2d 818 .”
