Taking a similar path as the Connecticut Appellate Court, the Maryland Appellate Court concluded a trial court erred by refusing to ask prospective jurors about potential bias against homosexuality before the start of a murder trial.

The defendant, Albert M. Muldrow Jr., allegedly met Martino Duffin in an online chatroom and went to his apartment to have sex as part of a “one night stand” in March 2019.

Muldrow was accused of, but denied participating in or killing his romantic rendezvous, according to the opinion filed Wednesday.
