Supreme Court of Delaware

Kevin Robinson, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

August 16, 20102010 Del. LEXIS 406

Summary

The court affirmed Robinson's convictions and sentences for first-degree murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and first-degree robbery. It held that Robinson's unpreserved disclosure claim did not establish plain error or a disclosure violation, and that the trial judge properly required counsel to confront the impeached witness before introducing extrinsic evidence of a prior inconsistent statement. The court concluded that the preferred sequencing procedure was permissible under the governing evidence rule and did not violate Robinson's constitutional rights.
