Supreme Court of Delaware

Stephanie Robertson, Defendant Below-Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below-Appellee

March 20, 20122012 Del. LEXIS 158

Summary

The Court affirmed Robertson's convictions, holding that the evidence supported a jury instruction permitting consideration of flight as consciousness of guilt and that the instruction did not impermissibly comment on the evidence. The Court also held that Robertson was not entitled to an instruction on Assault Third Degree because the record provided no rational basis for finding criminal negligence rather than the mental state required for Assault Second Degree.
