The victims family is supposed to receive adequate notice to attend and be given an opportunity to speak
The victims brother was notified Friday afternoon of a long weekend that a hearing would take place Tuesday and he could watch over zoom
He was not informed he had a write to attend and to make a statement
The brother lives in California and contacted a Maryland attorney over the long weekend, the attorney had no facts of the case and attempted to request a delay Tuesday morning, the judge said the brother could make a statement over zoom, he didnt have one prepared and made a brief statement
So effectively this is a procedural problem, the appeal court agreed the hearing was not handled correctly to allow the victims family adequate notice
