Description
Raker and Wilner, JJ. Concur Todd Alan Tharp, Petitioner, was convicted by a jury in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County of second degree murder and robbery with a dangerous or deadly weapon. He was sentenced to thirty years in prison for the second degree murder conviction and a consecutive twenty-year sentence for the armed robbery conviction. At the earlier trial in the Circuit Court of Petitioner's co-defendant, Keith Sellers (Sellers), the trial judge had excluded Petitioner's trial attorney from the courtroom pursuant to the witness sequestration provisions of Maryland Rule 5-615. 1 Prior to jury voir dire at Petitioner's trial, Petitioner's attorney moved to dismiss the charges against Petitioner or, in the alternative, to hold depositions, based on Petitioner's attorney's earlier sequestration from Sellers's trial. The Circuit Court denied both motions. Petitioner's convictions ensued.
