Supreme Court of Delaware

Jamaien Monroe, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

September 14, 20112011 Del. LEXIS 506

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Monroe’s convictions and sentence after rejecting his challenges to joinder, admission of uncharged attempted-robbery evidence, and admission of two pretrial eyewitness identifications. The court held that the attempted-murder and murder charges were properly tried together, that circumstantial eyewitness testimony supplied clear and convincing evidence of the uncharged robbery, and that both identifications were admissible under the two-step suggestiveness and reliability analysis. No separate opinions were issued.
