Description
[17 MdApp Page 565] After a removal from Baltimore City to Baltimore County for trial, James McKenzie was convicted by a jury of murder in the first degree. On appeal to this Court and represented by the same counsel who represented him at trial, his only contention was that ""it was reversible error for the defendant to testify without being advised, in the record, of his right to refuse to testify.""1 The point not having been raised and decided [17 MdApp Page 566] below, this Court invoked Maryland Rule 1085. We concluded the opinion, ""If McKenzie honestly believes that he did not knowingly elect to testify, the avenue is open for him through post conviction procedure to air that contention."" McKenzie v. State, No. 457, September Term, 1971 (filed February 28, 1972).
