Howard E. Woodlin, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Woodlin’s convictions, holding that the trial court properly admitted his daughter’s recorded forensic interview under title 11, section 3507. Although Woodlin’s specific foundational objections were not preserved and therefore were reviewed for plain error, the record showed that the child’s testimony touched on the events described in the interview, implicitly affirmed their truth, and left her available for cross-examination. The court found no plain error in the trial court’s admission of the statement.
