Terry L. Moore, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed Moore’s convictions, holding that the officer’s initial encounter was justified under the community caretaker doctrine because Moore appeared possibly to be a stabbing victim. Once that concern was dispelled, the officer had reasonable suspicion under the totality of the circumstances to conduct a Terry stop and protective frisk for weapons, and the evidence discovered during the frisk and in plain view was properly admitted.
