Supreme Court of Delaware

Marc T. Taylor, Below v. State of Delaware, Below, Appellee Kevin Rasin, Below v. State of Delaware, Below

September 25, 201376 A.3d 791

Summary

The court affirmed Taylor's and Rasin's convictions, rejecting their constitutional challenges to Delaware's gang-participation statute and their evidentiary and severance claims. It held that the statute gives ordinary people adequate notice, does not improperly burden freedom of association, and was supported by sufficient evidence as applied to Taylor. The court also upheld the admission of the challenged hearsay, prior convictions, rap song, and DNA evidence, and found no abuse of discretion in denying severance.
