2024As discussed above, we treat “as ‘inevitably suspect’ a statement made to persons in authority and implicating a codefendant” because a “defendant implicating his confederate may do so to curry favor with the authorities, to achieve a plea bargain, to shift the blame by showing that another was more culpable, or simply to have another with whom to share the blame.” 16 Standifur, 310 Md. at 13 (citations omitted). 16 To support its position that statements against penal interest should be treated the same as any other type of hearsay evidence, the Dissent relies upon State v. Grant, 776 N.W.2d
