Supreme Court of Delaware

Carter v. State

November 12, 2014

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Carter's convictions and sentence after independently reviewing the record under the applicable withdrawal procedure. It held that the challenged 911 calls and police statements were admissible, the evidence sufficiently proved firearm possession, Carter failed to establish plain error concerning his allegedly intoxicated statement, and no Brady violation occurred because the recantation letters were publicly docketed. The Court also found counsel's withdrawal request procedurally proper, rendering the motion to withdraw moot.
