Supreme Court of Delaware
Willie L. McNair, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee
March 8, 20102010 Del. LEXIS 97
Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed McNair’s convictions for burglary, theft, offensive touching, and criminal mischief. It held that the photograph and related identification testimony were not prior-bad-acts evidence, that a prompt curative instruction adequately addressed the witness’s improper reference to the photograph, and that no missing-evidence instruction was required because the blurry surveillance videotape was not material. The court therefore found no abuse of discretion or other error.
