Supreme Court of Delaware
Andre K. Blake, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee
July 22, 20102010 Del. LEXIS 351
Summary
The court reversed Blake's convictions because the State introduced five witnesses' prior statements under section 3507 without establishing the required foundation that each witness testify about the events and indicate whether the prior statement was true. The court also held that the error was not harmless beyond a reasonable doubt because those statements supplied the only evidence linking Blake to the shooting. The court remanded for further proceedings and left any redaction issues for the new trial.
