Baldwin v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed the defendant’s convictions, holding that the Superior Court properly admitted his prior felony conviction for impeachment under D.R.E. 609(a). The trial court performed the required probative-value-versus-prejudice balancing, and its decision did not exceed the bounds of reason or cause significant prejudice. Although the defendant failed to include the required record materials with his opening brief, the Court declined to dismiss the appeal on procedural grounds.
