Tremein Hoskins, Defendant Below-Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below-Appellee

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Hoskins's convictions, holding that the trial judge did not commit plain error by omitting a specific accomplice-credibility instruction or a single-theory unanimity instruction. The court also held that the foundational inquiry used to admit a witness's prior statements under section 3507, although imperfectly phrased, did not cause plain error because it was not clearly prejudicial. The court noted that Hoskins could pursue an ineffective-assistance claim in a later postconviction proceeding.
