Supreme Court of Delaware

Dunn v. State

September 22, 2014

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Dunn’s conviction and sentence for hindering prosecution. It held that the trial court properly admitted a witness’s prior statement because the State established its voluntariness by a preponderance of the evidence, and that the evidence supported denial of Dunn’s motion for judgment of acquittal because the hindering-prosecution statute focuses on knowledge of acts constituting a crime, not completion of the crime before the assistance occurred.
