It depends. You certainly risk being sanctioned by the judge if it's the same argument as before. My advice would be to discuss the specifics of your case with a Maryland criminal defense attorney, who can then tell you your options.

Best of luck.******The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******
