Supreme Court of Delaware

Paul E. Weber, Below v. State of Delaware, Below

February 21, 20122012 Del. LEXIS 104

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Weber’s conviction and sentence for attempted first-degree robbery after concluding that none of his nine appellate claims warranted relief. The court held that police had no duty to preserve the shirt obtained at Weber’s arrest, and that the officer’s identification of Weber from surveillance footage was neither impermissibly suggestive nor unreliable. The court also found no reversible error in the remaining jury, evidentiary, sufficiency, prosecutorial-misconduct, double-jeopardy, or plea-related claims.
