Sirron Benson, Defendant-Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff-Below Appellee

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Benson’s convictions for first-degree murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. It held that the prosecutor’s closing argument about inferring intent from the size and use of the firearm was not improper and that the trial court’s credibility instructions adequately addressed the informant’s testimony. Because neither issue was preserved by a contemporaneous objection, the court reviewed both claims for plain error and found none.
