Stanley Taylor, Below v. State of Delaware, Below

Summary

The Delaware Supreme Court affirmed Taylor's convictions and sentences, rejecting his claims of prosecutorial misconduct, improper admission of a SANE nurse's testimony, and improper replay of a complainant's recorded out-of-court statement during deliberations. The court held that the prosecutor's argument was consistent with the jury instruction and supported by corroborating evidence, that the nurse's testimony remained relevant to surviving charges, and that the trial judge acted within his discretion in allowing the jury to replay the recording at its request. Because the individual claims lacked merit, Taylor's cumulative-error claim also failed.
