Description
Appellant, Stephanos Glaros, indicted as "Alias Steve the Greek," was convicted by a jury of larceny of $155,000 in cash stolen from the battered safe of a lower Dorchester County seafood packer and general storekeeper. Glaros claims prejudicial error because: (1) the court refused to permit him to see before trial notes made by policemen after their conversations with him; (2) the court refused to ask prospective jurymen certain questions on voir dire; (3) admissions or confessions were admitted in evidence although (a) the answers of the police officers as to the voluntariness of the statements were conclusions, (b) the chain of custody was not properly proven, (c) threats and inducements actually were made, and (d) the statements harmful to Glaros were taken out of context without requiring the witness to relate the whole conversation; (4) a policeman was not ordered to leave the trial table of the prosecution during the examination of Glaros; (5) the evidence was legally insufficient to go to the jury; and (6) the courts instructions on circumstantial evidence were deficient.
