Court of Special Appeals of Maryland - 105 Md. App. 687, 661 A.2d 175
Contributed by 🤖LSDBot🤖
A man killed another man because he found him having sex with his wife, and argued that he acted in the heat of passion.
Issue
The issue is whether the court correctly instructed the jury on what constitutes adequate provocation for a verdict of manslaughter.
Conclusion
The legal conclusion of the court is that the lower court's judgments were affirmed, and the appellant's convictions were upheld.

Analysis
Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum
Facts
- A man was convicted of first degree murder, burglary, and unlawful use of a handgun for shooting another man, Mark Bantz, nine times and killing him.
- He claimed that he did it in the heat of passion because Bantz was having an affair with his wife and using drugs in front of his son.
- He appealed his conviction, arguing that the court didn't properly instruct the jury on manslaughter and that certain statements made by his wife shouldn't have been admitted as evidence.
- The court found no merit in his complaints and affirmed his conviction.
- The most relevant facts to the court's analysis were the circumstances surrounding the murder and whether the defendant's actions were sufficient to be considered manslaughter.

Holding
- Hey! This is the holding for Pennoyer v. Neff. It probably isn't the holding for the brief you're looking at. Join LSD+ for full access.
- A named property within the court's jurisdiction is attached to satisfy an unrelated claim, despite the owner of said property being a non-resident of the state.
- A named property within the court's jurisdiction is attached as the basis for the suit (e.g., to quiet title), despite the owner of said property being a non-resident of the state.
- An individual is sued who is a resident of the state, or who has been served with process while physically located within the state.
- jurisdiction - Neff is neither a resident, nor was served while within the state. Service by publication may be valid for an

- jurisdiction - the action was on the basis of a suit to receive payment owed, and did not relate directly to a property within the state.
- jurisdiction, as the Oregon property was not attached to the initial suit, but rather was added in after the suit happened - note that Neff did not even purchase the property until after the suit had concluded.
- Accordingly, the Oregon court did not have jurisdiction over the initial suit between Neff and his lawyer.
- Enforcement of a judgment without jurisdiction denies due process!
- Additionally, although judgments rendered by other states are entitled to full faith and credit, if that state did not have jurisdiction to render the judgment, it loses such entitlement.
