Debinski v. Director of Patuxent Institution
Supreme Court of Maryland · Decided July 26, 1966
243 Md. 695; 221 A.2d 909; 1966 Md. LEXIS 580

Debinski v. Director of Patuxent Institution

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

On 19, April, 1965, the applicant, serving a ten year sentence for perverted practice, was found by a jury to be a defective delinquent and committed to Patuxent.

In this application he attacks the constitutionality of Code (1957), Art. 31B (1965 Cum. Supp.). His contentions in this regard are thoroughly disposed of by our decision in Director v. Daniels, 243 Md. 16.

Applicant also contends that there was insufficient evidence to support a verdict of defective delinquency. The testimony of Dr. Boslow, the formal report from Patuxent, and the record of convictions are more than sufficient to support the verdict. Brunson v. Director, 239 Md. 128, 210 A. 2d 372 (1965).

Application denied.
