Mason v. Maryland

Adel G. Hagez ("Hagez"), appellant, is not a newcomer to this Court; this is his fourth appeal stemming from charges that he murdered Riad Hijaz in 1991. As a result of Hagezs first appeal, we reversed his convictions and remanded the case to the Circuit Court for Howard County for a new trial. Hagez v. State, 110 Md. App. 194 (1996) ("Hagez I"). The re-trial, which has not yet occurred, is at issue here.
