Deon Black, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

Summary

The court held that the trial court inadequately investigated allegations that a juror obtained and shared extraneous information about whether the quantity of drugs indicated an intent to deliver. Because the court did not determine whether the other jurors received or were influenced by that information, the record did not establish that the jury remained impartial. The convictions were reversed and the case was remanded for a new trial.
