How later courts describe this case

  • "Where the same evidence or argument is presented elsewhere during trial without objection, no reversible error exists"
  • “As we indicated in Foster, the ability of the jury to consider any factor as a mitigator, not only those introduced by the defendant, is crucial to the non-mandatory character of the [Maryland] death penalty statute”
  • counsel does not have obligation to object to admissible evidence
