Daemont Wheeler, Below v. State of Delaware, Below

Summary

The court affirmed Wheeler's convictions despite concluding that the trial court admitted both indirect hearsay and testimonial hearsay that violated the Sixth Amendment's Confrontation Clause. The investigating detective's testimony conveyed to the jury that three unavailable witnesses had identified Wheeler as the shooter, but the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt because the testimony was cumulative of the victim's compelling eyewitness identification and properly admitted evidence. No separate opinions were filed.
