Tremein Hoskins, Defendant Below-Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below-Appellee

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Hoskins's motion for postconviction relief. Although counsel performed deficiently by failing to request an accomplice-credibility instruction, Hoskins failed to show a reasonable probability that the trial result would have differed because the accomplice's testimony was independently corroborated. The court also rejected Hoskins's claims concerning a single-theory unanimity instruction, admission of the accomplice's out-of-court statements, counsel's affidavit, and cumulative error.
