So as not to make it seem like crim didn't have any amusing quotes whereas all of my other classes did, here's my favorite thing from crm, which I just ran across again in my studying. From Pope v. State, 284 Md. 309, 396 A.2d 1054 (1979):"As we have held that the crime of misprision of felony does not now exist in Maryland, Pope may not, of course, be retried on a charge of that crime. Pope moved that we strike from the State's brief and appendix a selection from the Year Book of 1484 written in Medieval Latin and references thereto. The State provided no translation and conceded a total lack of knowledge of what it meant. The motion is granted."
