““.... The [Shaw] case was submitted to the court on an agreed statement of facts. ... Shaw moved for a judgment of acquittal following presentation of the agreed statement of facts. The court reserved ruling on the motion. Almost a year later, the court ordered that the charging document be dismissed on the ground that misprision of a felony is not a crime in Maryland.” [Emphasis added.] [Alteration added.]”
