Re: Three Strikes Your Out

Maryland has no "three strikes and you are out" law. This applies for acts committed under the law of other states.

Maryland has sentencing guidelines and applies a matrix system. Criminal Procedure Section 6-216 sets upper and lower sentencing requirements. . If you need an attorney, contact me at (410) 799-9002.
