Supreme Court of Delaware

Cuffee v. State

October 14, 2014

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Cuffee's convictions for attempted theft, second-degree conspiracy, and criminal mischief. It held that the indictment amendments did not alter the charged offenses or prejudice Cuffee, the challenged photograph and prosecutorial arguments were properly admitted or permissible, and the undisclosed police-radio recordings caused neither reversible discovery prejudice nor a Brady violation. The Court also held that Cuffee waived self-representation by failing to renew his equivocal request before the jury returned its verdict.
