Supreme Court of Delaware

Parris Hamilton, Below-Appellant v. State of Delaware, Below-Appellee

December 9, 20132013 Del. LEXIS 619

Summary

The court affirmed Hamilton's convictions, holding that the trial court adequately cured an expert psychiatrist's incorrect legal testimony concerning voluntary intoxication and the extreme-emotional-distress defense. It also held that the State presented sufficient evidence that Hamilton lacked a privilege to remain in the dwelling, satisfying the unlawful-entry element of first-degree burglary.
