Supreme Court of Delaware

April Milligan, Defendant Below-Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below-Appellee

June 10, 20152015 Del. LEXIS 279

Summary

The court affirmed Milligan’s convictions, holding that the Confrontation Clause did not require live testimony from every person who handled her blood sample when the challenged documents were used solely to establish chain of custody. The court also held that the State laid a sufficient foundation for admitting the blood-test results because the identified irregularities created issues of evidentiary weight rather than admissibility. No separate opinions were filed.
