Dallas Drummond, Below v. State of Delaware, Below

Summary

The court affirmed Drummond's convictions after concluding that admitting his testimony from the first trial, even if erroneous, was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt because it was cumulative of overwhelming evidence. It also held that the trial judge properly denied mistrial relief for witness statements referencing Drummond's prior misconduct and incarceration, because the unobjected-to statements did not constitute plain error and the challenged statements were insufficiently prejudicial to warrant a mistrial. No separate opinions were filed.
