Supreme Court of Delaware

Becerra v. State of Delaware

September 25, 2015

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Becerra's convictions and sentence. It held that his unpreserved hearsay and relevance objections did not establish plain error because the co-conspirator statements would have been admissible upon proof of the conspiracy, and the remaining objection was waived. The court also held that the evidence was sufficient to support his accomplice liability for the robbery and that no sua sponte judgment of acquittal was required.
