Ronald Luttrell, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

Summary

The court reversed Luttrell's convictions and remanded for a new trial because the trial court improperly denied his request for a bill of particulars and because the State introduced impermissible vouching evidence. The indictment and related materials did not identify which alleged acts corresponded to each charge, impairing Luttrell's ability to prepare a defense and risking a nonunanimous verdict. The detective's statements expressing or implying opinions about the credibility of the child and Luttrell constituted plain and reversible error.
