Supreme Court of Delaware
Anzara Brown, Defendant Below/appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below/appellee
June 17, 20152015 Del. LEXIS 296
Summary
The Court affirmed Brown's convictions and the denial of his motion for a new trial. It held that the wiretap and arrest were supported by probable cause, that the cocaine was properly admitted because the State established a reasonable probability that it was authentic and untampered with, and that later evidence of OCME misconduct would not probably have changed the verdict. The Court emphasized that Brown's admissions, recorded conversations, surveillance, and independent retesting provided overwhelming evidence of guilt.
